The American singer-songwriter announced a total of 13 shows across the UK and Ireland in October and November later this year.
The 84-year-old will play two nights at the SEC Armadillo on November 16 and 17.
He will also visit cities including Brighton, Swansea, Leeds and Belfast, as well as Dublin in Ireland.
The tour is set to be entirely phone-free as fans will be asked to put their phones in a Yondr pouch - which closes automatically when in the venue.
Tickets for the Glasgow shows are set to go on sale on July 18.
Born Robert Zimmerman, Dylan burst on to the folk scene in the early 1960s before controversially picking up an electric guitar on stage in 1965.
He has sold more than 125million records and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 — the first songwriter to receive such a distinction.
His songs have been covered more than 6,000 times by artists including The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Guns N' Roses.
One of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters in history, Dylan has a number of connections to Scotland.
In 2004, Dylan was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from the University of St Andrews in Fife.

In 2011, he bought a set of bagpipes from the National Piping Centre in Glasgow.
One of his most famous songs, The Times They Are A-Changin', was even inspired by Scottish ballads.
He also owned a huge Edwardian mansion in the Scottish Highlands near Nethy Bridge for over 20 years which he used as a hideout and was later sold for over £3million.
You can find tickets to the Glasgow show here.

A third penned: "Mean girls (2004) has got to be one one of the most amazing movies ever, not only is it timeless but the movie itself is original.

They added: "All of the other actors and actresses deserve the praise they got, after 20 years I can still watch this movie with the same pleasure and joy I got when I first saw it years ago."
