Bob Dylan’s still rolling with his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour, tossing in extra shows through 2026. On December 7, 2025, his website popped up with fresh dates - this round packs 27 U.S. gigs, kicking off March 21 somewhere mid-country, wrapping May 1 in Texas.

Bob Dylan got people talking online on November 13, 2025, after dropping a short update on his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. Even if it was just a few words, the message made clear the trip isn't ending - fresh dates could pop up. Fans heard from the legend that extra gigs may roll out by early spring 2026, yet full details on cities or precise timing will come soon enough.

He wrote:

"To all fans and followers of Rough and Rowdy Ways Show . We will see you early Spring 2026, will let you know where and when later"

Folks figured this tour’d wrap up by 2024 - but nope, it’s still moving fast past a busy 2025 stacked with gigs across Europe and spots on the Outlaw Music Festival lineup. The upcoming concerts? They’re dishing out tracks from that 2020 album sharing the tour’s title; tickets drop December 12, right before Bob Dylan hits 85 early in the new year.

Bob Dylan maps out 27-stop spring run across the Midwest and South

Bob Dylan is now preparing to make the spring an active one, with the first spark of the 27 shows beginning March 21 at the Orpheum Theater and concluding May 1 in Abilene, Texas. New shows are introduced nearly every day, whether in big towns or smaller cities throughout the Midwest and South - Grand Rapids, Detroit, Louisville, Cleveland, Knoxville, Asheville, Macon, Baton Rouge, and smaller places are on the list, as Live For Live Music reported.

All the tickets will be on sale beginning December 12 on his official site. Though Dylan continues to confuse things with live mixes - where some old songs emerge during festivals or the 2020 shock move sees drummer Anton Fig brought on when the 2025 tour began, leaving people wondering what surprise would happen next.
