On May 11, 2026, Bruce Springsteen returned to Madison Square Garden (MSG) for the first of two shows at the venue, and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were two of the notable celebrity attendees.
Asbury Park Press reported that Goodell and Kraft were spotted at the concert. They weren’t alone, though, as Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Bongiovi, were also in attendance.
It was a packed house at the Garden for Springsteen and the E Street Band. They will return to the venue to perform a second concert there on Saturday, May 16. In between the shows, they will perform at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday, May 14.
The Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour is already more than halfway over. After his three shows across New York, Springsteen will visit Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; Boston, Massachusetts; and Washington, DC.
The last show will now take place on Saturday, May 30, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally, the DC show was supposed to end the tour. However, the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers’ playoff series forced the date to be rescheduled.
