Tour Announcement and Cities

Bob Dylan is hitting the road again. The rock icon has announced a new leg of his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour, set to begin in March 2026. The tour will start on March 21st in Omaha, Nebraska, and continue through cities across the country including Rockford, Grand Rapids, Columbus, Cleveland, Knoxville, Baton Rouge and more, before ending on May 1st in Abilene, Texas. Dylan will perform in over two dozen venues across the United States, with a schedule that focuses on smaller towns that major rock acts often skip. See the full list of tour dates below.

Fans can expect to hear songs from Dylan’s 2020 album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, mixed with classic hits that helped shape his career. And if you have been to a Bob Dylan show before, you already know the setlist can shift from night to night. He often brings surprise covers into the show.

Songs and Live Style

Dylan’s approach to live music has always stood out. He rarely plays songs the same way twice, and his changing setlists have kept his shows fresh for decades. Tracks from Rough and Rowdy Ways have become the centerpiece of his current tour style. The album shows Dylan’s skill as a writer, mixing poetic lines with strong rhythms. Fans who attend multiple shows may hear different songs each night, giving each performance its own shape. The mix of new songs, iconic favorites, and interesting choices in covers makes these concerts feel personal to each city.

The tour will also offer fans a chance to see Dylan in theaters with strong sound, instead of large arenas. With shows held in local civic centers, auditoriums, and historic theaters, the setup brings the music closer to the crowd.
