The Never Ending Tour continues! After three years playing shows across the world, Bob Dylan has announced that he will be rounding off his ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ tour, which started back in 2021, right here in the UK.
The tour celebrates the release of Dylan’s 2020 album of the same name and has marked the restarting of the singer-songwriter’s so-called ‘never ending’ tour cycle – after a break due to Covid-19.
These shows will be strictly no phones allowed – audience members will be asked to put their phone in a Yondr pouch that will close automatically when inside the venue. Dylan’s final performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall will be the concluding show of the whole tour. Well, for now – it’s called a ‘never ending’ tour for a reason.

What’s been said about the ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ tour?
On Dylan’s first UK leg of the ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’ tour back in 2022, it was five stars all round. The Guardian called it a ‘sublime bluesy night’ and Manchester Evening News wrote that ‘Dylan’s voice, famously divisive, feels like it’s on form’.
However, fans have been warned not to expect greatest hits such as ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ or ‘Like A Rolling Stone’. Most of the setlist so far has been from his 2020 album, while one of his sets a few weeks ago featured non of Bob’s songs from the 20th century at all.
