Yes, Virginia, today the rumors have been confirmed officially. As per Bruce Springsteen's official announcement:

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will launch their Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour across the country this spring, kicking off at Minneapolis’ Target Center on March 31. The 20-date run will feature 19 arena shows, and a final night outdoors on May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

[Via a video-message posted on his social media,] Springsteen offered the following comments about the goals of the tour: "Brothers and sisters, fans, friends, and good folks from coast to coast...We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! [And yes, our favorite lapsed Catholic continues, at least occasionally, to mispronounce "cavalry" as "Calvary," a la "We Take Care of Our Own."] Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour. 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!"

In the spring of 2025, Springsteen & the E Street Band brought their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour to more than 700,000 fans across Europe and released the Land of Hope & Dreams EP from opening night in Manchester, England. Their return to the United States will mark Springsteen & the E Street Band’s first shows in North America since 2024.
