Bob Dylan is set to continue his legendary career with the announcement of his first tour dates for 2025, resuming his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. This updated itinerary includes performances at four smaller venues across the United States, showcasing Dylan’s connection to the heartland and engaging with his fanbase on more intimate terms.
The tour kicks off on March 25, 2025, at Tulsa Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is also home to the recently established Bob Dylan Center. This venue celebrates Dylan’s 50-year legacy as the artist who transformed American music, and the opening concert has already sold out, reflecting the high demand for tickets to see the iconic musician live once again. "Sorry to hear the news about Garth Hudson,” Dylan shared on social media recently, honoring the founding member of The Band who passed away. “He was a beautiful guy and the real driving force behind The Band. Just listen to the original recording of ‘The Weight’ and you’ll see.”
Following the Tulsa show, Dylan is set to perform at Century II Concert Hall in Wichita, Kansas, on March 29. This stop contributes to the tour's focus on smaller markets, allowing the artist to connect more personally with fans. This approach to touring is notable for such a major figure, as Dylan typically fills larger venues.
On April 4, the legendary musician will bring his tour to the Mayo Clinic Health Systems Event Center located in Mankato, Minnesota. Coincidentally, Mankato is close to Dylan’s roots, as he was born and raised in nearby Duluth, making this appearance particularly special for many Minnesota fans.
The last leg of this tour will culminate on April 6 with a show at The Weidner-Cofrin Family Hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin. With ticket sales set to begin on January 31, anticipation is already growing among fans eager to see Dylan perform songs from his 2020 album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, as well as classics from his vast catalog spanning over six decades.
Dylan’s recent resurgence aligns with the mounting interest surrounding him due to the biopic A Complete Unknown, released on December 25, 2024. The film featured actor Timothée Chalamet portraying Dylan and has garnered attention, including multiple Golden Globe and Oscar nominations. Dylan’s social media presence has also seen renewed activity lately, as he engages with fans reflecting on his musical history.
Blending nostalgia with contemporary relevance, this 2025 tour seems poised to remind audiences why Bob Dylan remains one of the most influential figures in music history. Whether you're reflecting on the poetic intricacies of songs like "Blowin’ in the Wind" or reveling in the ageless nature of classics such as "Like a Rolling Stone," Dylan's concerts promise to be as engaging and heartfelt as ever.
With the ticketing for Wichita, Mankato, and Green Bay set to open soon, fans should mark their calendars as they prepare to secure their chance to witness this living legend in action. Such opportunities are rare, making it all the more significant as Dylan continues to share his artistry with the world. For many, this tour presents not just shows but memories awaiting to be created.
Don’t miss out on what promises to be unforgettable nights filled with music and history. Stay tuned and make sure to grab your tickets when they become available. Bob Dylan, the voice of a generation, is hitting the stage again, and you won't want to miss it!
