On **Thursday, July 3, 2025**, Bruce Springsteen—alongside the E Street Band—delivered the *final show* of his sprawling **2023–2025 “Land of Hope and Dreams” Tour** at Milan’s iconic San Siro Stadium ([reddit.com][1], [en.wikipedia.org][2]). Before stepping onto the stage, “The Boss” paused to greet and embrace a packed crowd of die‑hard fans, many of whom had weathered rain or shine and traveled from across Europe for this two‑night finale. That heartfelt moment underscored the deep connection he’s maintained with audiences for over five decades.
This concluding performance marked the end of a remarkable tour that began on **February 1, 2023**, in Tampa, FL. It evolved through multiple legs—across the U.S. and Europe—and, despite vocal-health setbacks that caused postponements, amassed **130 shows**, grossing over **\$630 million*
In Milan, Springsteen and the band first played on **June 30**, and then returned for this unfinished business on July 3. These dates were rescheduled from June 1 and June 3, 2024, after earlier cancellations due to his vocal condition ([m.brucespringsteen.net][3]). Across these two nights, the setlist rattled through classics and deep cuts—every show clocking in at around three hours, with up to 30 songs and the Boss mingling with fans as routinely as ever .
What made July 3 extra special was the unofficial stadium-wide choreographed tribute: fans coordinated a choreo during one of the songs, a plan first intended for June 30 but moved to night two due to logistical constraints
By the final chord struck under the Milan sky, it was clear: this wasn’t a farewell, but a triumphant capstone. After decades of performing, Springsteen remains as electrifying as ever—even as rumors swirl about his “retirement,” he’s emphatically made it clear he’s not slowing down .
