Tickets go on sale soon for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's Land of Hopes and Dreams American Tour. How to get tickets, what you'll pay

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are kicking off the North American leg of their Land of Hope and Dreams tour, which stops in 19 cities, on March 31 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

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.

His message has not changed. Power does not come from cruelty. The streets belong to everyone, or they belong to no one.
