Bruce Springsteen shocks fans by performing The Clash cover for 1st time since 2014<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n During the first of two shows during the 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams Tour<\/a> at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band<\/a> covered a classic from The Clash\u2019s London Calling album.<\/p>\n In the fourth slot of the setlist, Springsteen and the E Street Band (and Tom Morello<\/a>) performed \u201cClampdown,\u201d the penultimate song of the second side of London Calling. It was also released as a single in Australia in 1980.<\/p>\n Fans may not be surprised by this, as Springsteen has previously covered the song with Morello. However, it hasn\u2019t happened since the 2014 High Hopes Tour, which also featured Morello.<\/p>\n According to Setlist.fm, they covered the song six times on the High Hopes Tour. The last performance occurred<\/a> at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, on May 17, 2014.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen if Springsteen will keep \u201cClampdown\u201d in the setlist every night. He is known for shaking things up on a nightly basis, so perhaps it was a one-off. He has opened and closed each show of his 2026 tour with covers \u2014 opening with The Temptations\u2019 \u201cWar\u201d and closing with Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cChimes of Freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n THOMAS BENDER\/HERALD-TRIBUNE \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images.<\/p>\n Below is the full setlist from Springsteen and the E Street Band\u2019s first show at the Kia Forum on Tuesday, Apr. 7, 2026.
