Bob Dylan announces 2025 UK and Ireland tour dates
Bob Dylan has announced several tour dates in the UK and Ireland for 2025. The 84-year-old singer-songwriter will play 13 shows on his acclaimed Rough and Rowdy Ways tour in November, following on from a string of summer gigs in the US. Dylan's first UK performance takes place in Brighton on November 7, before heading across Britain and Ireland to Swansea, Coventry, Leeds, Glasgow, Belfast, Killarney and Dublin. Concertgoers will be asked to put their phones and electronic devices in a special bag that will be sealed shut through the performance, as is custom on the tour which has been on the road since 2021. The Yondr pouches close automatically inside the venue before reopening when audiences return to the concourse later on. Dylan played his first gig in the UK at The King and Queen pub in Fitzrovia, London in 1962 and first performed in Ireland at the Adelphi Cinema on his famous 1966 world tour. Tickets for the shows will go on sale at 10am on Friday 18 July. Dylan is one of the most acclaimed songwriters in history and was played by Timothee Chalamet in the biopic A Complete Unknown last year, which centred on the Blowin' in the Wind singer's infamous decision to 'go electric' in the 1960s. The Dune actor explained that he felt "validated" by the reclusive music legend's praise for his portrayal. The 29-year-old star said: "He's a man of few words. "He's probably said fewer words publicly in his life than I've said in this interview alone, so to get some sort of … affirmation - deeply validating. And everything we do in life, we want our heroes to, should they even know about us, affirm us, so the fact that he did, it's more than I could ever ask for, and hopefully he doesn't delete it."

From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here This year's Swansea shows may well be a nod to Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who Bob Dylan famously took his surname from. However, it's important to note that concert-goers will not be allowed to take their phones into the auditorium and will instead have to put them in a locked and secure phone pouch when they arrive at the venue. They will then be able to keep their phone on them for the rest of the evening but be unable to access it through the pouch. Bob said he had implemented this because "it creates better times for everyone in attendance". Fans have been reassured they will be able to use their phones in an emergency, but only by visiting a dedicated area intended for phone use.

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. A COMPLETE UNKNOWN - Official Trailer 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.
