Springsteen Launching ‘Political and Very Topical’ Tour in Minneapolis
Springsteen opened the tour with protest songs and a blistering speech against the Trump administration, drawing on the deaths of 2 Minneapolis residents.
- On Tuesday, Bruce Springsteen launched his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, describing it as "political and very topical" regarding national events.
- Springsteen released the protest song "Streets of Minneapolis" in January following the fatal shootings of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti and 37-year-old mother Renee Good by ICE agents.
- Operation Metro Surge caused an estimated $203 million in economic impact to Minneapolis, with local small businesses and restaurants losing $81 million during the federal action.
- Residents Marta Shore and Simpson view celebrity attention as helpful for drawing support, though they emphasize grassroots mobilization and economic blackouts remain the primary drivers of hope for their community.
- The tour concludes May 27 in Washington, where Springsteen plans to address the White House directly, having previously performed the song at the Minnesota State Capitol and First Avenue.
