BOB Dylan has announced a 2024 “phone-free” UK tour, including two nights in Scotland.
The 83-year-old music legend will play 10 shows across venues in Edinburgh, London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, and Bournemouth in November.
The shows will be phone-free, and people will be asked to put their mobiles in a Yondr pouch, which closes automatically when in the venue and unlocks in the venue’s concourse.
Dylan (below) has been touring his 2020 album Rough and Rowdy Ways since 2021, playing dates in Glasgow, London and Oxford in 2022.
He will perform in Edinburgh’s iconic Usher Hall on November 5 and 6.
The singer is one of the most acclaimed songwriters of all-time, winning a Nobel Prize for literature as well as 10 Grammys – and being nominated on 38 further occasions. Dylan has had six UK top 10 singles and nine UK number one albums.
He began his career in 1962 with the single Mixed-Up Confusion, which failed to chart in the UK and US.
But he shot to stardom with a string of successful singles in 1965, including The Times They Are A-Changin’, Subterranean Homesick Blues, and Like A Rolling Stone.
Dylan’s songs have been covered by the likes of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones, and Adele.
Dylan’s stage time for the Edinburgh concerts will be at 7.30pm.
Tickets for all shows will go on sale on Friday July 19 from 9am.
