AceShowbiz - After more than five years on the road, Bob Dylan continues to broaden the scope of his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour by adding a dozen new dates for summer 2026. This latest extension supports his 39th studio album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, and follows the tour’s original launch back in November 2021.
The newly announced concerts, revealed on Tuesday, April 21, will bring Dylan to a variety of cities across the eastern and southern United States. Fans can expect stops in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, Gilford (New Hampshire), Bridgeport (Connecticut), Queens (New York), Richmond (Virginia), Raleigh and Wilmington (North Carolina), Atlanta, and Nashville.
In addition to Dylan himself, most of the new tour dates will feature opening performances by acclaimed artists Lucinda Williams and Jimmie Vaughan. Select shows will also include appearances by country singer Brittney Spencer and the John Doe Folk Trio, led by X singer and bassist John Doe.
Tickets for the new shows are currently available via pre-sale, with general on-sale scheduled to begin Friday, April 24, at 10 a.m. local time.
Throughout the ongoing tour, Dylan has primarily performed tracks from Rough and Rowdy Ways, while also weaving in reinterpreted versions of his extensive catalog of classics. This tour continues to be part of what fans often call the "Never Ending Tour," a road journey spanning over three decades with only occasional short breaks.
