The inimitable Bob Dylan will be back in the UK in 2026 with an unmissable run of shows, starting here in Bournemouth.

In recent years, the artist’s Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour – named for his surprise 2020 album – has met with great acclaim (“Utterly unpredictable, a night of frequent thrills and unconditional pleasures” – The Guardian).

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.

YONDR

IMPORTANT: This concert is a "PHONE FREE SHOW", which means that phones are not allowed in the hall during the concert.

How it works? Once you arrive at the venue, Yondr (the phone pouch company engaged for this concert) will have its dedicated staff available to help you put your phone in a locked and secure pouch, which you will keep with you throughout the evening.

What should I do if I have an emergency and need to access my phone? You can unlock your phone pocket at any time by going to a dedicated and signposted area, intended for phone use. Do not hesitate to ask a Yondr staff member to help you.

Why are we doing this, and is it mandatory? Having created this phone-free experience on recent tours, we believe it creates better times for everyone in attendance. Our eyes open a little more, and our senses are slightly sharper when we lose the technological crutch we've grown accustomed to. And yes, it's a non-negotiable deal (although medical exemptions are made for those who rely on their phone for treatment).
