Bob Dylan Announces 2025 UK and Ireland Tour Dates

Bob Dylan has announced a much-anticipated series of UK and Ireland dates as part of his ongoing Rough And Rowdy Ways world tour, marking another chapter in the career of one of music’s greatest living legends.

The tour, which began in late 2021 following the release of his critically acclaimed 2020 album of the same name, has already spanned hundreds of shows across North America and Europe. Fans have been treated not only to tracks from Rough And Rowdy Ways, but also to carefully chosen gems from his sprawling back catalogue, including a surprise performance earlier this year of The Times They Are A-Changin’ for the first time in 15 years.

Now, British and Irish fans will have their chance to see Dylan live once again, with 13 dates confirmed for November 2025. The tour kicks off in Brighton on November 7 and includes multiple-night runs in Swansea, Glasgow, Belfast and Killarney, before finishing up at Dublin’s 3Arena on November 25.

As with his recent concerts, fans should note that the use of mobile phones and video cameras will be prohibited at all shows, in keeping with Dylan’s wishes to create an immersive, distraction-free experience.

Here are the full dates:

November 2025

  • 7 – Brighton, Brighton Centre
  • 9 – Swansea, Building Society Arena
  • 10 – Swansea, Building Society Arena
  • 11 – Swansea, Building Society Arena
  • 13 – Coventry, Building Society Arena
  • 14 – Leeds, First Direct Arena
  • 16 – Glasgow, Armadillo
  • 17 – Glasgow, Armadillo
  • 19 – Belfast, Waterfront
  • 20 – Belfast, Waterfront
  • 23 – Killarney, INEC
  • 24 – Killarney, INEC
  • 25 – Dublin, 3Arena

 Tickets are expected to go on sale soon, and demand is likely to be high given Dylan’s enduring popularity and the intimate settings of many of the venues. His Rough And Rowdy Ways tour has drawn widespread acclaim for its inventive setlists, stripped-back arrangements and the unmistakable presence of Dylan himself, still captivating audiences six decades after his debut.

Fans and critics alike have praised the tour’s unique atmosphere, which some have described as more akin to a private recital than a stadium concert. One review from a recent North American leg noted: “Dylan doesn’t just perform, he reinvents his own songs every night, and you never hear the same show twice.”

For lifelong fans and new listeners alike, this tour promises to be a rare chance to see one of the 20th century’s most important artists still pushing creative boundaries at 84 years old.

Further details about ticket sales and pricing are expected to be released shortly on Dylan’s official website and through venue box offices.
