The Boss will be back on the road this spring.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band announced a 20-date tour across America, starting in Minneapolis on March 31 and ending in Washington, D.C., on May 27. The iconic heartland rock group will play its only Ohio show in Cleveland, at the Rocket Arena on May 22.

The “Land of Hope And Dreams” American tour follows the release of Springsteen’s new protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” which he wrote in response to violence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the city this winter.

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming!” Springsteen wrote in a tour announcement. “We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C. Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome — so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock 'n' Rebellion! I’ll see you there!" 

The American tour dates follow the Land of Hope and Dreams tour in Europe last spring. The band last played in Cleveland in 2023.

Tickets to the May 22 show go on sale on Saturday, Feb. 21 at noon.
