The Boss to rock Long Island: Bruce Springsteen's 'Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour' to include UBS Arena in Elmont

The Boss is coming to Long Island. 

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

The 20-show trek 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 16, and at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on May 14.

General-public tickets go on sale 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 says in the 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."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee 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 shooting deaths of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti 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.

Springsteen has long been critical of Trump, who in turn has called the rock icon "overrated." They most recently publicly clashed last year, when Springsteen on tour in the U.K. 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.
