Bob Dylan, one of the most influential songwriters of our time, is set to return to the UK with his Rough and Rowdy Ways 2024 tour. ITB is honoured to announce this leg of the tour, which follows an epic run of shows that began in December 2021 in Milwaukee, spanning hundreds of venues across the US, UK, Europe, and Japan.
This leg of the tour will feature 10 very special performances, starting with a return visit to Bournemouth at the Windsor Hall on November 1st and culminating in three highly anticipated nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Known for its historic significance and unforgettable events, the Royal Albert Hall performances promise to be among the most memorable of Dylan's career.
Fans can expect a unique concert experience, as the shows are in partnership with Yondr, a company that will prohibit the use of video cameras and mobile phones. This ensures that the focus remains on the music, creating a rare, intimate atmosphere for all attendees.
In addition to London, Dylan will return to Edinburgh for the first time since 2009 and make stops in Nottingham and Liverpool. The tour will also include a performance at the newly refurbished Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, a venue with a storied history of hosting musical legends such as Bob Marley, The Who, and David Bowie.

About Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan, born Robert Zimmerman, has been a seminal figure in popular music for over six decades. Renowned for his profound lyrics and unique voice, Dylan’s influence stretches across genres and generations. His career began in the early 1960s with the release of his self-titled debut album, but it was his subsequent works, such as "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and "Highway 61 Revisited," that cemented his status as a cultural icon. Tracks like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Like a Rolling Stone" became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.
Dylan's artistic evolution is marked by constant reinvention. From folk to rock to gospel and beyond, his music defies categorization. This innovation earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, recognizing his profound impact on modern songwriting and culture. Even now, Dylan continues to captivate audiences with his evocative storytelling and magnetic performances, proving that his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour is a must-see event for fans new and old alike.
