It may not technically be part of the so-called Never Ending Tour, which ostensibly began in 1988 and – if you ask virtually anyone but Bob Dylan himself – is still going on, but this spring will see our man Bob returning to the road once again for a series of dates throughout the southern US and then venturing a bit outside of it before wrapping things up.
Tickets for the tour will be available in a Live Nation presale beginning on Thursday (Jan. 25) at 10 a.m. local time using the access code “Spotlight,” with the general public sale kicking off on Friday (Jan. 26) at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.
As Dylan himself wrote in the liner notes for his 1993 album World Gone Wrong, "There was a Never Ending Tour but it ended in 1991 with the departure of guitarist G.E. Smith. That one's long gone."
This upcoming tour is ostensibly still in support of Dylan's 2020 studio album Rough and Rowdy Ways, although the iconic singer-songwriter's most recent release is actually The Complete Budokan 1978, the 58-track concert album which was reissued on November 17, 2023.
