The five Royal Festival Hall shows will be Dylan’s first since a run of three performances at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024. Dylan’s first gig in the UK was at The King & Queen pub in Fitzrovia, London, in 1962.

Dylan’s latest official release was 2025’s The Bootleg Series Vol. 18: Through The Open Window, 1956–1963, heralded by Uncut “as an astonishing, deep dive into Dylan's formative years”, with Mojo writing: “In truth every damn song is a transcendence.”

The release of new music in 2020 surprised and delighted fans, with the album Rough and Rowdy Ways dominating end-of-year lists and marking another milestone in the career of one of the great artists of modern times.

The 2026 Bob Dylan UK shows are in partnership with Yondr, which will prohibit the use of video cameras and mobile phones, making the occasion even more unique.
