Bruce rocks out to Long Island: Springsteen's 'Land of Hopes & Dreams' tour to include UBS Arena in Elmont

The Boss is coming to Long Island. 

Bruce Springsteen, the 51-time Grammy-nominated artist whose recent single, "Streets of Minneapolis," denounces President Donald Trump’s ongoing immigration enforcement operations, will perform at UBS Arena in Belmont Park on May 5 as part of the Land of Hope & Dreams American tour.

The 20-show tour begins in Minneapolis on March 31 and ends in Washington, D.C., on May 27.

Springsteen will also perform at Madison Square Garden on May 11 and May 16 and at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on May 14.

General public tickets go on sale on Friday, at noon.

In a video on social media, Springsteen, 76, announced his tour with the E Street Band.

"Brothers and sisters, fans, friends and good folk from coast to coast, we are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair," Springsteen said in a video while standing in front of a car in his garage. "The cavalry is coming. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington D.C."

He went onto say how the tour is a "celebration and defense of America, American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream, all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C."

Springsteen gained national attention last month when he released "Streets of Minneapolis," with lyrics that describe how "a city aflame fought fire and ice ’neath an occupier’s boots," which Springsteen calls "King Trump’s private army."

The title of the song echoes Springsteen’s "Streets of "Philadelphia," which served as the title song for the Tom Hanks-led 1993 film "Philadelphia."

Springsteen wrote and recorded the song in response to the death of Alex Pretti, the second deadly shooting by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis.

"It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good," he wrote in a statement, naming the two protesters who were shot. 

Springsteen has long been critical of Trump, who in turn has called the rock icon "overrated." They last publicly clashed last year, when Springsteen on tour in England told his audience that America "is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

Trump responded by calling Springsteen a "dried out prune of a rocker," The Associated Press reported.

For decades, Springsteen has salted his songs with social and political commentary.

Springsteen's 1975 album, "Born to Run," reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The title track earned Springsteen his first Top 40 single, peaking at No. 23. His 1984 album, "Born In The U.S.A.," became his second to top the Billboard 200, following 1980's "The River."

Springsteen won his first career Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance for 1984 for "Dancing In The Dark." He has gone on to win 20 Grammys and has been nominated for 51.

"Deliver Me From Nowhere," a biopic of Springsteen’s life starring Jeremy Allen White, was released in theaters in October.
