Fans, friends, and good people from one side of the country to the other. We are going through tough, scary, and dangerous times, but don’t lose hope. The help is coming,” The Boss said in an announcement video.
“Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be playing this spring in cities like Minneapolis, California, Texas, and Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour,” he continued.
“We will be playing in your town to celebrate and stand up for America, American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution, and our sacred American dream. All of these things are under attack by our fake king and his strange government in Washington, D.C.”
“Everyone, no matter where you are or what you believe, is welcome,” Springsteen added. “
So come out and join the united free republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of rock and rebellion. I’ll see you there.”
By starting the tour in Minneapolis, Springsteen is pointing out the violent actions and killings that Trump has caused in the city with his masked federal agents.
The singer wrote the hit song “Streets of Minneapolis” in response to the ICE crackdowns. The song reached number one in 21 countries.
The tour begins on March 31st and includes 20 shows in arenas.
This timing is bad for Trump because it means the voice of working-class America will be criticizing his administration at one full show after another. With his low approval ratings and the ongoing Epstein scandal, Trump can’t handle more negative news before the midterm elections.
Springsteen has shown himself to be one of Trump’s strongest and most vocal opponents.
He knows this president has let down the working class that he writes about in so many of his songs and he hates the constant attacks on our democracy.
