Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band to launch 'Land of Hope and Dreams' US tour next month

Bruce Springsteen is bringing his pointed political commentary back to American stages this spring. The rock icon and the E Street Band announced Tuesday the launch of their “Land of Hope and Dreams” American tour starting March 31 in Minneapolis, kicking off a 20-date run that blends arena rock with a message centered on democracy, freedom and what Springsteen calls the defense of the American ideal. “We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming!” Springsteen said in a statement.
