Let the altered-setlist speculation begin... Yesterday it was announced officially on Bruce Springsteen's social media that Tom Morello "will be performing on stage with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band on selected songs for every date of the Land Of Hope & Dreams American Tour.
"Grammy-winning, Harvard-educated, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted artist, songwriter, and activist Tom Morello is living proof of the transformative power of rock 'n' roll. Known for his innovative guitar solos and thunderous chords, Morello is a groundbreaking artist — both in his solo career and as an original member of the rock bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.
"After covering 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' with Rage Against the Machine, Morello first performed the song live with Springsteen and the E Street Band in April 2008. He later toured extensively as a guest of Bruce and the band from 2012-2015, and appears on the Springsteen albums Wrecking Ball and High Hopes — while Springsteen appears on the 2021 Tom Morello album, The Atlas Underground Fire. Most recently, the two shared the stage at Morello's 'Defend Minnesota: A Concert of Solidarity and Resistance' last month."
On Morello's own social media, while sharing with his fans some information about having to alter some of his solo touring schedule in order to perform with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band this spring, he added, "After Bruce joined me last month in Minneapolis for our 'Defend Minnesota' charity concert, I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture. Together, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us, in the spirit of freedom, justice, and rock n roll."
