\n\tGreat news for the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers has turned out to be not so great for Bruce Springsteen<\/a> fans. After the Sixers advanced to the second round of the NBA finals by beating the Boston Celtics in a playoff series for the first time in 44 years \u2014 besting their rivals 109-100 in game 7 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series on Saturday (May 2) and becoming just the 14th team in league history to come back from a 3-1 deficit \u2014\u00a0The Boss and the E Street Band have reshuffled their Land of Hope & Dreams North American tour.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDue to the NBA and NHL playoff schedule, the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at Xfinity Mobile Arena has been rescheduled for May 30,\u201d the band wrote on Instagram<\/a> over the weekend. Tickets for the original date, May 8, will be honored on the new date.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement came as both the Sixers and the city\u2019s NHL team, the Flyers, have advanced in the 2026 playoffs. The Sixers will be back at Xfinity on May 8 to play the New York Knicks in game three of their series, followed by the Flyers, who will face the Carolina Hurricanes at home on May 7 and May 9.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original E Street Band date was squeezed in between a run of New York shows, including a show on Tuesday (May 5) in Elmont, N.Y. bookended by the first of two shows at Madison Square Garden on May 11 (with a second one on May 16) and a stop at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on May 14. The Philly show will now come after what was supposed to be the E Street Band\u2019s May 27 finale at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe latter date was a pointed booking, as it would have wrapped the tour on the doorstep of Springsteen\u2019s frequent target during the tour\u2019s run: President Donald J. Trump. The Boss launched the tour<\/a> in Minneapolis on March 31, the site of the killing of two American citizens by Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement agency during a surge in the city earlier this year. The routing was a clear rejoinder to Trump\u2019s actions in the Twin Cities, which Springsteen also reacted to with the flash-release of the searing protest song, \u201cStreets of Minneapolis<\/a>,\u201d which the Boss debuted at a show by fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tom Morello at the legendary First Avenue club in the city on Jan. 30, less than a week after the track was written and recorded.<\/p>\n
