Five nights of Bob Dylan live at the Royal Festival Hall, closing his Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour.
Bob Dylan is playing five nights at the Royal Festival Hall from 3 to 8 December, his first London shows since three dates at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024. The run closes his latest tour of Europe and North America, the Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, which takes its name from his surprise 2020 album. The Guardian called that record 'utterly unpredictable', and Mojo described a night on the tour as 'a night of frequent thrills and unconditional pleasures'.
Now in his 80s, Dylan still holds a magnetic stage presence and boundless charisma, with reviewers calling his recent shows 'a masterclass in musical intimacy'. These five nights are his first London appearances in two years, and his first UK dates since 2024. To put that in perspective, his first UK gig goes back to The King & Queen pub in Fitzrovia in 1962.
