Summary
- Springsteen's tour starts in Minneapolis, a city symbolic of resistance.
- The first two songs will be live-streamed on YouTube for free.
- The tour is deliberately routed to cities targeted by ICE.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen commenced his 'Land of Hope & Dreams' Tour on March 31, 2026, with the opening show in Minneapolis. This marks the beginning of a 20-date run.
Springsteen deliberately chose Minneapolis to start his tour, citing the city's recent role as a symbol of resistance and solidarity. The tour's routing continues to cities that have been heavily targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
For fans unable to attend in person, Springsteen is offering a rare treat: the first two songs of the March 31 concert will be streamed live and for free on his YouTube channel. The show began at 8:30 p.m. ET from Minneapolis's Target Center.
Springsteen stated that the tour would be political and topical, reflecting current national issues. He expressed a desire to begin in Minneapolis and conclude in Washington, D.C. The tour's sole stadium date is scheduled for May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
