Bruce Springsteen to headline fundraiser for veterans in New York
Bruce Springsteen will headline the 20th anniversary edition of Stand Up For Heroes, a fundraising concert for military veterans, taking place on 9 November 2026 at David Geffen Hall in New York's Lincoln Center. The annual event, presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation, has raised more than $117 million since it began in 2007, and Springsteen has performed at every edition bar one, underlining his long-standing commitment to the cause.
The 2026 bill will also feature comedians Hasan Minhaj, Jon Stewart and Josh Johnson, alongside a musical performance from Alex Warren. It marks Springsteen's only confirmed upcoming live date following the conclusion of the North American leg of his Land of Hope and Dreams tour, and comes after he recently revealed that his wife and E Street Band bandmate, Patti Scialfa, is now in remission from the myeloma that led her to step back from touring in 2018.
