Bruce Springsteen brings his political message back to U.S. arenas with a new run of shows. The “Land of Hope and Dreams” American tour mixes big rock concerts with themes of democracy and freedom.

Bruce Springsteen used to tell a story about a particular post-9/11 encounter when he was in alone in a parking lot and someone yelled, “We need you now!” That, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer said, was the impetus for his 2002 album The Rising.

Springsteen may be an American icon, but when it comes to choosing a few beers for an after-concert sip, he and his band rejected one classic US bottle.

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair - the cavalry is coming!" Springsteen said in a press release.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will perform at State Farm Arena on Saturday, May 2, as part of their nationwide Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Springsteen, of all artists, the one who’d held fast throughout his touring life to a fixed mantra, ‘No one gets left behind,’ had allowed himself to be at the caprice of Ticketmaster’s noxious ‘dynamic pricing’ model.
