For decades, Bob Dylan has been consistently hitting the road on what he calls the Never Ending Tour. Last year COVID-19 put a stop to that. Despite releasing his exceptional Rough And Rowdy Ways, Dylan had to pause his touring operation. The only show he’s played since releasing the album was the ticketed Shadow Kingdom livestream. He hasn’t played a conventional gig in front of an audience since December 2019. But like many artists, he’s heading back out to play some concerts again in this post-vaccine stage of the pandemic, ending what Rolling Stone calls his longest break from the road since 1981-1984.

Dylan and his band will spend a month playing theater shows across the Eastern half of the United States, starting Nov. 2 in Milwaukee and ending Dec. 2 in Washington, DC. It’s being advertised as the “Rough And Rowdy Ways World Tour” and dated 2021-2024, so if he’s not currently scheduled to roll through your area, don’t worry, it looks like the octogenarian is intending to play a lot more shows in the coming years. Tickets for this leg go on sale here this Friday, Oct. 1. I hope he plays a 37-minute “Murder Most Foul.”
