"The tour announcement arrives on the heels of Springsteen's new song " Streets Of Minneapolis," which called President Donald J. Trump and his Department of Homeland Security to account after ICE officers killed two civilians, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, in the city in January. The same month, Springsteen also dedicated a performance of "The Promised Land" to Good while playing a New Jersey festival."
""We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair-the cavalry is coming," Springsteen shared in a press statement on the 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.""
