Bob Dylan has announced a new 2026 UK tour, including a five-night residency at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The legendary singer-songwriter will return to the UK in November and December 2026, with dates in Bournemouth, Birmingham, Sheffield, Blackpool and London.
Tickets for all shows go on general sale at 10am on Wednesday 22 July, while promoter and venue pre-sales begin on Monday 20 July.
Bob Dylan 2026 UK tour dates
Dylan’s latest UK run includes 10 performances across five cities:
- Bournemouth – Bournemouth International Centre
- Birmingham – BP Pulse Live
- Sheffield – Sheffield City Hall
- Blackpool – Opera House (two nights)
- London – Royal Festival Hall (five nights)
The London residency marks Dylan’s first performances in the capital since his three sold-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024.
Rough and Rowdy Ways tour continues
The UK dates form part of Dylan‘s long-running Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, which began following the release of his acclaimed 2020 album of the same name.
The tour has earned widespread praise for its ever-changing setlists and intimate performances, with Dylan continuing to reinvent his live shows more than six decades into his career.
Rather than relying on greatest hits alone, recent concerts have mixed material from Rough and Rowdy Ways with classic songs from across his extensive catalogue.
Mobile phones will not be permitted during performances
As with Dylan’s recent tours, the UK concerts will operate under a Yondr phone-free policy.
Audience members will be required to place mobile phones and smartwatches into secure Yondr pouches before the performance. Devices remain with concert-goers but cannot be accessed until after the show, creating a distraction-free environment inside the venue.
Latest tour follows recent archival release
The announcement follows the release of The Bootleg Series Vol. 18: Through The Open Window, 1956–1963, Dylan’s 2025 archival collection exploring his earliest recordings and musical influences.
More than 60 years after first performing in London in 1962, Dylan continues to tour regularly and remains one of the most influential songwriters in modern music.
