Bob Dylan announces new UK and Ireland tour dates for 2025
Bob Dylan has extended his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour with new dates added for the UK and Ireland later this year.
Dylan has previously brought the ongoing tour, which takes its title from his most recent studio album from 2020, to the UK on two occasions. He first played a series of shows in 2022, before returning two years later for another run of dates, including three nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall, and now, Dylan is back once again.
Like with the other legs of the tour so far, Dylan has partnered with Yondr who provide pouches for audience members to store their phones during the concert as they are prohibited from the shows.
Dylan’s phone-free UK and Ireland jaunt will begin at the Brighton Centre on November 7th before visiting Wales for three shows in Swansea. Next on his agenda is Leeds for a concert at the First Direct Arena ahead of two nights at the Armadillo in Glasgow.
The legendary singer-songwriter will then take a trip over the Irish Sea to play two shows in Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast before venturing down south to the picturesque Killarney in County Kerry for a pair of concerts. The tour concludes at the 3Arena in Dublin on November 25th.
Tickets are set to go on sale on July 18th at 10am local time.
Dylan is currently celebrating the tenth anniversary of his Outlaw Music Festival across the United States with Willie Nelson and a variety of special guests who are joining the duo at select shows.
As the Outlaw Music Festival does allow phones, many magical moments have been documented on social media, such as when Dylan covered ‘Rainy Night in Soho’ by The Pogues and was joined by Billy Strings for ‘All Along The Watchtower’.
More recently, Dylan treated fans in Franklin, Tennessee, to ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’ which was his first performance of the classic song since he played it at the White House in 2010. The Outlaw Music Festival is set to end on September 19th, 2025, in East Troy, Wisconsin.
