Bob Dylan announces details of new UK and Europe 2026 tour
Bob Dylan is keeping his books busy into the end of 2026, as he has announced a slew of tour dates in Europe and the UK, including a five-night residency at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
After a long slog touring his charming tunes in North America, Dylan is bringing himself to Europe on October 17th, where he will kick things off at Oslo Spektrum in Norway.
From there, throughout October and November, he will make plenty of stops across the continent, including in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, and Austria.
On November 25th, Dylan and his band will kick things off this side of the English Channel with a show in Bournemouth, before playing for crowds in Birmingham, Sheffield, and Blackpool.
The cherry on top of the cake comes as Dylan will bow out of what has been an incredible 2026 with a five-night residency at London’s Royal Festival Hall, which has a seated capacity of around 2,700.
Like with his recent tours, the next batch of dates in the UK and Europe will be phone-free affairs with Dylan partnering with Yondr to ensure no phones or cameras are allowed to be used during the shows.
This will be Dylan’s first time performing in the British capital since his trio of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024.
Tickets for the UK shows will go on pre-sale at 10am on July 20th, before general sale begins at 10am on July 22nd.
Since March, Dylan has been performing across North America, initially on the concluding leg of his five-year Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, before getting his Bob Dylan in Concert tour underway this summer, trekking across amphitheatres across the land.
His upcoming itinerary, before heading to Europe, includes a landmark performance at the Forest Hills Stadium in New York on July 18th, and a closing date in Nashville on August 1st.
At his recent shows, Dylan has surprisingly been keeping his 16-song setlists relatively the same, performing favourites such as ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’, ‘When I Paint My Masterpiece’, ‘Man in the Long Black Coat’, and ‘I Shall Be Released’.
