Springsteen and E Street Band 2023–2025 Tour

The Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2023–2025 Tour was a concert tour by American singer Bruce Springsteen and his backing band the E Street Band. The tour began on February 1, 2023, in Tampa, Florida. Due to band member illnesses and Springsteen suffering his own health issues, twenty-four dates of the tour's 2023 leg were postponed and were rescheduled for 2024. Springsteen re-titled the 2025 European leg as the "Land of Hope and Dreams Tour". It began on May 14 in Manchester and ended on July 3 in Milan.

  • Set list complaints

    Some fans had criticized the initial 2023 legs of the tour for the set list being very similar each night, something that Springsteen has not been known for throughout his career, and have complained about the number of songs being performed. In an interview, Steven Van Zandt responded to fan criticism by saying, "I had to let that guy have it the other day. He's like, '(whining) Jeez, you started out playing 28 songs and now you're playing 26. I want my money back.' Get the beep outta here! Anybody measuring the show by the amount of songs or the amount of time spent onstage ain't listening! This ain't about numbers — it's about an emotional experience. And this one happens to be ... I think, a special one. And the audiences are reacting in a way I've never seen in America. It's like a Broadway show. Why? Because you're telling a story and every song has a purpose." In July 2023, Garry Tallent also responded to fan complaints about the set list. "These rinse and repeat shows are such the opposite of greatness," a fan on social media said. Tallent replied, "You are fucking kidding, right??" Former E Street Band drummer Vini Lopez added, "As time goes on, they'll start doing other stuff and that just goes on through a tour. The thing that bugs me the most about the tour are the people who go to 20 shows and then they complain about hearing the same songs."

    In March 2024, during an interview with E Street Radio, Springsteen said fans could expect a wider selection of songs after the tour resumed that month. "I think we're approaching [the 2024 World Tour] like it's a new tour. There will be some things from last year's tour that will hold over; some of my basic themes of mortality and life. Those things I'm gonna keep set, but I think I'm gonna move around the other parts of the set a lot more. So there'll be a much wider song selection going on. We're looking at it like it's a little bit of the old tour, but we're looking at it like a new tour. We're looking to kill the crowd and send them home just having had the time of their lives and that hasn't changed and that's what we plan to be doing for the rest of this tour", Springsteen said.
