- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are embarking on their 'Land of Hope and Dreams' tour next week, visiting several major US cities.
- Springsteen stated the tour aims to bring “hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, unity over division and peace over war”.
- The tour follows the release of his protest song, 'Streets of Minneapolis', which criticised a political figure after federal agents' actions in the city.
- He previously described the current times as “dark, disturbing and dangerous”, urging people to join the tour in defence of American democracy and freedom.
- Springsteen has consistently criticised the political figure, dedicating songs to victims of federal immigration agent actions and speaking out against “Gestapo tactics” in American cities.
