"Brothers and sisters, fans, friends, and good folk from coast to coast, we are living through dark, disturbing, and dangerous times, but do not despair. The cavalry is coming. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California, to Texas to Washington DC for the Land of Hope and Dreams American tour. We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America, American democracy, American freedom."

Setlists leaned heavily on some of Springsteen's most politically-charged material, including "Murder Incorporated," "Youngstown," and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom," while the frontman also delivered several impassioned onstage speeches about the state of American democracy."
