Tom Morello is joining Bruce Springsteen’s 2026 tour, which is great news for their fans around the country — in South Florida, not so much.
As local fans know, especially if they forked out money for both concerts, their blue-collar heroes each had scheduled shows in South Florida within about two weeks of each other: Springsteen at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise on April 23 and Morello at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale on May 9.
But in order to perform on Springsteen’s tour, Morello had to clear space on his schedule, and that meant postponing his show at The Rev. Morello has also rescheduled his May 10 concert in Tampa, along with shows in Atlanta, Nashville and Milwaukee.
In an Instagram post, Morello said fans will receive an email about new dates for the postponed concerts, with instructions on refunds if they can’t attend.
Meanwhile, Springsteen and The E Street Band will open their 20-date Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour on March 31 in Minneapolis, where The Boss recently took the stage at Morello’s Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota!
Morello will perform a solo set on each date and sit in with Springsteen for several songs each night.
“After Bruce joined me last month in Minneapolis for our ‘Defend Minnesota’ charity concert, I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture,” Morello wrote on Instagram with a picture showing the two backstage.

“Together, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us … in the spirit of freedom, justice, and rock n roll. This will necessitate postponing a few of my solo shows in May,” Morello wrote.
Of the postponed shows, Morello said: “I have a deep love and respect for all my friends, fans & comrades and I promise that we will find a way to be together for these shows, in these towns, very soon.”
