Bob Dylan has announced another round of live concerts for 2026, keeping his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” tour rolling into its sixth consecutive year. An update posted on the band’s official site on December 7, 2025 revealed 27 newly confirmed U.S. dates, beginning on March 21 in Omaha, Nebraska and continuing through May 1 in Abilene, Texas. The itinerary stretches through the Midwest, South and Southwest, offering fans in multiple states the chance to see Dylan onstage again.
These shows arrive on the heels of a remarkably active 2025 for Dylan. He spent the year touring heavily, including appearances at the Outlaw Music Festival, before heading across the Atlantic for a European, UK and Ireland run that wrapped in late November. Rather than slowing down, Dylan is moving straight into another tour cycle. Official ticket sales open on December 12, 2025, and demand is expected to be high.
The announcement also comes during a meaningful milestone. Dylan will turn 85 on May 24, 2026, only weeks after the spring leg concludes. His continued work rate at that age reinforces the theme of his recent years: constant creativity, constant motion. After more than sixty years of recording, performing and reshaping American music, Dylan’s decision to keep touring feels less like nostalgia and more like instinct.
For long-time fans and newer generations, the 2026 dates offer something rare and valuable: the opportunity to experience a still-active legend whose voice, phrasing and presence have influenced modern songwriting across genres. Every tour leg carries the possibility of musical reinvention, and audiences know that no two Dylan concerts are ever exactly the same. These shows are not simply repeats of the past; they are part of an ongoing journey that remains unpredictable, alive and unmistakably his.
