Part 2 of “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” has been released.

Today, on his 77th birthday, Bruce Springsteen released Part 2 of his “Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour (Philadelphia Freedom Cut)” concert film. You can watch it below.

The film documents Springsteen’s May 30, 2026 concert with The E Street Band at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

Earlier this month, when Part 1 was released, Springsteen was asked by Rolling Stone: if the unusual method of releasing this film had anything to do with the miderm elections, and said:

Well, it wasn’t specifically planned to fall into the midterms, but if it does, that’s great. Really, we just had Thom [Zimny] do the first seven songs to see what we had. I didn’t know what the show was like on film. He basically cut, edited, and we got the sound good on the first seven pieces. When I saw it, I said, “This has got to come out now.”

I can’t wait another three, four months for the rest of the concert to be edited and have it finished. The whole thing, the pop-up tour, was about immediacy and being in this moment, providing something that I felt an audience, my audience, could use in this moment.

And so as soon as I saw it, I said, “This comes out now.” Everybody said, “Well, what do we do with the rest?” I said, “Well, we’ll serialize it is what we’ll do.” And basically that’s what we’re going to do. You’ll be getting seven songs or so in four different compartments, and at the end of the day, you’ll have the whole show.
