About the Venue — The Kia Forum

The Kia Forum is a 17,500-seat arena located at 3900 West Manchester Boulevard in Inglewood, California, just minutes from LAX and adjacent to SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park entertainment district. Originally opened in 1967 as The Forum, the venue underwent a complete renovation in 2014 and has since become one of the premier concert destinations on the West Coast, known for excellent acoustics, intimate sightlines relative to its capacity, and a storied legacy of legendary performances.

Springsteen has a deep history with the Forum dating back to the 1970s and ’80s, when the venue was a centerpiece of the Los Angeles arena circuit. The 2026 dates continue that tradition, bringing The Boss back to a room that suits his marathon performances perfectly — large enough for arena-scale energy, compact enough for the connection between artist and audience that defines every E Street Band show.

What to Expect at the LA Shows

Bruce Springsteen concerts are legendary for their marathon length — regularly running three hours or more, sometimes approaching four. Setlists typically exceed 25 songs and change every single night. Springsteen reads the crowd, pulls songs from fan-made signs, and builds each show in real time. The two-night Forum stand means fans who attend both dates will almost certainly hear different setlists, with deep cuts and rarities rotating in and out.

Expect the anthems — “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Badlands” — alongside politically charged material that defined the European leg of the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour in 2025. Springsteen released the protest song “Streets of Minneapolis” in January 2026, signaling the themes likely to anchor the U.S. run. The full E Street Band, with Max Weinberg on drums, Stevie Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren on guitar, Roy Bittan on piano, Jake Clemons on saxophone, and the expanded Horns and Choir section, delivers one of the biggest and most powerful sounds in live music.

Bruce Springsteen — The Legend
