Bob Dylan announces Rough and Rowdy Ways 2024 European tour, with no cameras or phones allowed

Bob Dylan onstage.

Bob Dylan will return to Europe in November for a 28-date extension of his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour.

The legendary folk-rock icon will kick off the European leg of the tour at the O2 Universum in Prague in the Czech Republic, while UK dates will begin at Bournemouth's Windsor Hall on November 1. Dylan will close out the trek with no fewer than three performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall, nearly 50 years on from his first shows at the historic venue. The tour will also see Dylan return to Edinburgh for his first show in the city since 2009.

Dylan’s stage time for each of these shows will be 7.30pm, with the exception of his shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall where he will take to the stage at 8pm. The shows are being promoted in partnership with tech firm Yondr, who will prohibit the use of cameras and mobile phones during the performances. Ticket holders' devices will be placed in protective pouches that remain locked while the concert is in progress, although fans will be able to step outside the phone-free zone to access them at any time.

Dylan has recently completed a run of dates on Wilie Nelson's touring Outlaw Music Festival, and the next US leg of the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour kicks off at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, CA, on July 29. Full dates below.

Tickets for the European shows go on sale on July 19 at 9am.

Last week Dylan announced a 27-CD box set of live recordings made with The Band during their 1974 arena tour. The 1974 Live Recordings will land on September 20 and contains a mammoth 431 songs, 417 of them previously unreleased.
