Tickets for the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's " Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour" stop in Brooklyn went on sale Friday for as much as $2,957.10 through a link on his website directing fans to Ticketmaster. Seats for many of the Boss's gigs, including his two Madison Square Garden appearances in May and his April 20 performance in New Jersey go on sale Saturday.

The diner has shared more than half a dozen photos of Springsteen during his various visits over the years. A 2024 Facebook post by Roberto's Freehold Grill shows Springsteen with the diner staff, captioned, "Nothing better than being back in your hometown after a spectacular performance in Syracuse. Welcome back, Boss!" Comments from fans of both the singer and the diner chime in, adding that "The Boss knows best! Gotta' love Roberto's Freehold Grill!" and "My favorite place!! Best pancakes ever!"

Bruce Springsteen announced The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour on Tuesday, with a stop at San Francisco's Chase Center right around the corner - on Monday, April 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 20 at noon, Pacific Time. Marketing materials for the tour with the E Street Band make Springsteen's intent plain, with a tagline reading: "NO KINGS."

I'm donating our merch take in Minneapolis ($204K) to Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee and Immigrant Defense Network.

If it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, acts like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism and lies like fascism, boys & girls it's fucking fascism. It's here, it's now, it's in my city, it's in your city and it must be resisted, protested, defended against, stood up to, exposed, ousted, overthrown and driven out. By you and by me.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis,

Titled "Streets of Minneapolis", the protest song pays tribute to Pretti and Good, while denouncing "King Trump's private army", who have "guns belted to their coats" and who "trample on our rights". The lyrics partly read: "Citizens stood for justice /Their voices ringing through the night /And there were bloody footprints /Where mercy should have stood /And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets /Alex Pretti and Renee Good."

They should have known right off the bat that they had something special, as the opening night had Dr. John, Stevie Wonder and Johnny Winter performing to the likes of Mick Jagger and Carly Simon in the audience. Over the years, the 400-person capacity club became the place to be to see one's favorite artist up close or catch an up-and-coming unknown.

In 1974 to '75, Springsteen rented the house at 7½ West End Court in Long Branch, New Jersey. The 1920-built cottage, which had two bedrooms and one bath, was where he wrote his third album, Born to Run-the work that would launch his career to national renown. Spanning 828 square feet, the diminutive house stands a block and a half from Long Branch Beach.

What's one movie you could watch a million times? For me, it's Walk Hard starring John C. Reilly. The parody of music biopics takes a crack at every cliche of the genrefrom over-romanticizing the moment an artist wrote their famous song, to how quickly these career-spanning movies breeze through their life. Walk Hard is also just packed to the brim with ridiculous jokes, and anything that makes me laugh in 2025 is a win.

The team at American Holidayscompiled a list of eight must-see spots that will help explain and elaborate on The Boss' legacy. Start your pilgrimage in Freehold, New Jersey, at 39 1/2 Institute Street, the modest white house where Springsteen grew up in the late 1950s, and where his first glimpses of small-town Americana began to take shape.

Joelle Garguilo: Something I have been thinking about a lot in life is how our experiences, whether it's with your loved ones or colleagues, in the end, it all boils down to the stories that we are left with. With that said, what are the stories that you will tell decades from now about your time in this film?

After spending literal years in the studio for his previous records, this time he walked in with finished songs. The cassette tape that he had carried around in his pocket got turned into a classic, five-star record of desolate modern folk songs about the dark side of the American dream. Surely, many fans believed, there had to be other versions of these songs that sounded more like the Springsteen they knew and loved.
