Bob Dylan has added more than a dozen new dates to his already extensive 2026 tour schedule, continuing his long-running live run tied to the Rough and Rowdy Ways era.
The newly announced shows begin July 8, 2026, in Chicago, followed by stops in major cities including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Boston. One of the standout dates comes on July 21, 2026, in New York City at Forest Hills Stadium, marking Dylan’s first return to that venue in a decade. The show will feature special guests Jimmie Vaughan and Lucinda Williams.
These additions build on an already packed 2026 itinerary that began earlier in the year. The spring leg includes:

This 2026 run is part of Dylan’s ongoing tour cycle that began in 2021 and continues to evolve with new dates and locations.
In addition to the tour news, the article highlights the connection between Dylan and Lucinda Williams, who previously shared a personal story about meeting him and being humorously referred to as a “female Bob Dylan.” Vaughan, meanwhile, has already performed live with Dylan in past shows, making their upcoming collaboration a notable reunion.
With new cities, returning venues, and high-profile guest appearances, Dylan’s 2026 schedule continues to expand—proving that even decades into his career, he remains firmly on the road.
