Bruce Springsteen's 2026 North American Tour Dates Announced

Bruce Springsteen is coming home.

After wrapping up a grueling European tour that stretched across 2024 and into early 2025, the Boss is bringing the E Street Band back to North American stages for a Spring 2026 run that kicks off March 31 in Minneapolis and winds through 19 cities over nearly three months.

The leaked itinerary, obtained by Jersey Ledger, reveals a tour that hits major arenas across the country before landing at multiple New York-area venues in May — including two nights at Madison Square Garden, a date at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and a show at UBS Arena in Elmont on Long Island.

For Jersey fans, the most significant date is April 20 in Newark, where Springsteen will play the Prudential Center in what promises to be a homecoming show for the 76-year-old Freehold native.

Here are the reported Spring 2026 North American tour dates:

• March 31 — Minneapolis
• April 3 — Portland
• April 7 — Los Angeles
• April 9 — Los Angeles
• April 13 — San Francisco
• April 16 — Phoenix
• April 20 — Newark, NJ
• April 23 — Ft. Lauderdale, FL
• April 26 — Austin, TX
• April 29 — Chicago
• May 2 — Atlanta
• May 5 — Elmont, NY (UBS Arena)
• May 8 — Philadelphia
• May 11 — New York, NY (Madison Square Garden)
• May 14 — Brooklyn, NY (Barclays Center)
• May 16 — New York, NY (Madison Square Garden)
• May 19 — Pittsburgh
• May 22 — Cleveland
• May 24 — Boston
• May 27 — Washington, D.C.

The tour marks Springsteen’s first North American dates since the E Street Band wrapped their 2023-2024 world tour, which was itself a triumphant return after Springsteen battled peptic ulcer disease that forced him to postpone several months of shows in late 2023.

The European leg of that tour continued through 2024 and into early 2025, with Springsteen playing to massive crowds across the UK, Spain, Italy, and Scandinavia. Those shows drew widespread acclaim, with critics noting that Springsteen, now well into his mid-70s, was performing three-hour sets with the energy and intensity that has defined his live shows for five decades.

The Spring 2026 routing suggests a deliberate pacing, with rest days built between most shows — a concession to reality that fans have come to accept and appreciate. Gone are the days of back-to-back-to-back arena dates. In their place is a schedule that prioritizes sustainability over saturation.

The Newark date on April 20 will carry particular weight. Springsteen has always treated New Jersey shows as something apart from the rest of the tour — longer setlists, deeper cuts, more storytelling between songs. The Prudential Center show will likely sell out within minutes of tickets going on sale, whenever that announcement comes.

The multiple New York-area dates in May — MSG on May 11 and 16, Barclays on May 14, and UBS Arena on May 5 — suggest a potential residency-style close to the tour, giving fans in the tri-state area multiple shots at tickets for what could be among the final extended tours of Springsteen’s career.

Ticket sale dates and pricing have not yet been announced, though an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks. Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing will likely push premium seats well above face value, as has been the case on recent Springsteen tours.

Springsteen’s management did not respond to requests for comment on the leaked dates.
