Bob Dylan’s tour is in support of his ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ album released back in 2020. The worldwide tour emphasizes the singer’s newer music and began in late 2021 that included multiple different legs in North America, South America, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the UK. 

The 84 year old has made his way back to North America this year with upcoming shows this summer in Georgia, Virginia, New York, Maine, and New Jersey. Dylan will also be returning to Europe before his new UK dates performing in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, and Copenhagen.

Similar to his other legs of this ongoing tour, Bob Dylan is prohibiting video recordings and phones as he wants his concert to enhance the live music experience for both himself and the audience. 

Bob Dylan’s ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ album in 2020 achieved significant success that topped the UK Album Charts with 34,000 units sold, and 29,000 of those being CDs. The album hit international success immediately in the top ten spot in 14 different countries, with a number one spot in the UK, Ireland, Norway, and Germany. The album marked his first collection of new songs in eight years. 

Bob Dylan released his self titled debut album back in 1962 and throughout his outstanding career has released 40 studio albums and became one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His albums appeal to different genres and periods throughout his career and life journey. 

The iconic musician also had a biopic about his early career and how he came to be, which was released last year, starring the well-known actor Timotheé Chalamet as Bob Dylan. The film achieved significant box office success globally, receiving major awards recognition, with eight Oscar nominations.

The first plans for the tour emerged back in September of last year when the 4-year tour was announced to be starting in North America last November. Interestingly, the tour started slightly less than 2 years after Dylan’s ironically named “Never Ending Tour”. Naming conventions aside, with the promise of a tour set to last from 2021-2024 it was always assumed that Dylan would land in the UK on his “World Wide Tour” eventually. Especially since a few European dates have also been scheduled. It was just a matter of time.

Dylan, clearly taking a page from the Jack White school of concert organising, has billed the UK shows as “non-phone events”. This means that anyone hoping to attend the shows will have to hand in their phone and have it locked in a Yondr Bag, where it will be kept for the performance. Don’t worry though, if you urgently need your phone for a moment, you will be permitted to open it by a member of staff. But the areas that you’re allowed to do this in will more than likely be well away from the stage, with no chance of hearing or seeing much.

Dylan has also made headlines recently, after a rare recording of his seminal classic “Blowin’ In The Wind” was sold at auction for an (honestly ridiculous) price of $1.8Million. Back in 1962, T Bone Burnett – the single’s producer – decided to record a take on an acetate record, which apparently produced a superior sound quality to the usual vinyl records.

T Bone recently told Variety “I think it is important to know for people who are concerned about the exclusivity of what we are doing. An Ionic Original is not a ‘copy.’ It is an original recording. We are not contriving scarcity. This is actually scarce. It is a unique, handmade, original recording. We have all been conditioned to accept the terms of and react to things from the frame of mass production. This is not that.”
