Bob Dylan announces UK tour for 2025 with 8 show dates
The 84-year-old will perform in a few UK cities including Glasgow, Swansea, Brighton and more.
The shows fill form part of his Rough And Rowdy Ways world tour which has been running since November 2021.
The shows will be phone-free and fans will be asked to put their phones in a Yondr pouch which closes automatically when in the venue and unlocks in the venue's concourse.
It comes amid a surge in interest in the singer's career, following the release of the biopic A Complete Unknown last year which starred Timothee Chalamet as Dylan and followed the story of his career beginnings and infamous decision to go electric in the mid-1960s.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Friday, July 18 at 10am.
Dylan has won 10 Grammys and been nominated on 38 further occasions, making him one of the most acclaimed songwriters of all time.
He's had six UK top 10 singles and nine UK number one albums.

He was the first songwriter to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 with the Swedish academy crediting him with 'having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition'.
Dylan's songs have been covered by the likes of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones and Adele.

Oasis' Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher performed at Wembley Stadium in London again tonight, with Geri Horner and three of the Lionesses among those in attendance The Oasis reunion tour continued tonight with another gig at Wembley Stadium, with several celebrities among the fans in the crowd at the venue.

She took a photo alongside three players at the concert in London and teased that they are now "home" after becoming champions in Switzerland. They are the latest celebrities to attend the Oasis Live '25 Tour. Tom Cruise, Ricky Gervais, Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa and Goldie were all in the crowd for their gig at the stadium on Saturday. It comes after it was teased that Tom should consider working on a film project about the Gallaghers. Geri posed for a photo with Alex Greenwood, 31, Hannah Hampton, 24, and Alessia Russo, 26, whilst at the concert this evening. The trio stood beside the author inside the stadium, with Hannah and Alessia sporting Oasis jackets. The photo was shared by Geri on Instagram.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas appear to confirm romance with holiday PDA
After months of whispers and well-angled paparazzi photos, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas appear to have confirmed their relationship. The 63-year-old Top Gun star and the Blonde actress., 37, were spotted over the weekend enjoying a quiet escape in the Vermont countryside. While neither has publicly commented on their relationship, the relaxed PDA during their July 26 outing – and a string of increasingly couple-coded appearances this summer – suggest that the pair are more than just creative collaborators. Cruise, dressed in navy from cap to sneakers, was seen clasping de Armas' hand as they walked near her Vermont home. The actress, casually chic in a white T-shirt and black flared jeans, matched his laid-back energy, ponytail in place and sneakers on. It's a subtle but telling shift from their earlier public sightings – which often came with plausible deniability. Romance rumors first swirled in February when the two were photographed dining in London – reportedly alongside their agents, who insisted the meeting was strictly professional. At the time, a source described the atmosphere as 'friendly, not flirty.' But that tune quickly changed as Cruise and de Armas were spotted together again, from birthday parties to park strolls and even a yacht trip in Spain. Their most high-profile cameo came just days before the Vermont trip, when the duo were seen at Wembley Stadium enjoying Oasis' reunion concert. Though they stayed in the background, eagle-eyed fans caught them on camera. While the romance may be blossoming in real time, so is their professional partnership. De Armas recently confirmed she's working on several projects with Cruise, including the forthcoming supernatural thriller Deeper, directed by Doug Liman. More Trending Cruise, whose high-octane filmography has spanned decades, is no stranger to high-profile relationships. He was previously married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes, and has three children. De Armas, meanwhile, has kept her private life relatively low-key since her much-publicized breakup with Ben Affleck in early 2021. More recently, she was linked to Manuel Anido Cuesta, the politically connected Cuban executive. While it remains to be seen whether Cruise and de Armas will make things red carpet official, their recent Vermont retreat makes it appear as though things are getting serious. Got a story?
