Overview
- Springsteen launched the Land of Hope & Dreams American tour in Minneapolis on Tuesday, opening with a searing cover of War before rolling into Born in the U.S.A.
- Mid-show he delivered a lengthy denunciation of President Donald Trump’s administration, calling it corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous while repeating the refrain this is happening now.
- He targeted policies on immigration, detention, and foreign alliances and named Attorney General Pam Bondi as taking orders from a corrupt White House.
- He performed Streets of Minneapolis to honor Renée Good and Alex Pretti, led ICE Out Now chants, and shared the stage with guest guitarist Tom Morello.
- The team streamed the first two songs on YouTube and in the nugs.net app, full-show audio follows in the nugs app, and the roughly 20-date run now heads to Portland and Los Angeles before a May 27 finale in Washington, D.C.
