Bob Dylan slipped three new dates onto his official tour page without fanfare, extending the Rough & Rowdy Ways Tour well beyond its original May 1 finish line and bringing his confirmed 2026 U.S. schedule to 30 shows.

After news broke that Dylan had added a one-off July 2, 2026, concert at Winstar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma, to his itinerary, two more new dates appeared on his official site: June 6 and 7 at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, Washington. Tickets for all three shows went on sale Monday, March 23.

The additions follow a spring leg that was already notable in scope. Dylan rolled out a 27-date United States run kicking off March 21 in Omaha and wrapping May 1 in Abilene, Texas. On March 21, Dylan commenced the 12th leg of his Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour at the Orpheum Theatre in Omaha, his first public performance since November 2025, when he closed the European chapter of the tour. That 2025 European run wrapped at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

The spring tour skips most major metropolitan markets in favor of smaller towns that major rock acts rarely visit, including La Crosse, Wisconsin; Saginaw, Michigan; Spartanburg, South Carolina; Macon, Georgia; and Tyler, Texas. The full march through the Midwest and South covers venues ranging from the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit on April 4 to the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, Tennessee on April 17, before dropping into the Deep South through Jackson, Mississippi; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Shreveport, Louisiana in late April.

The Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour enters its fifth year of touring in 2026. Dylan launched the tour in November 2021 in support of his 39th studio album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, released in 2020. The spring leg alone stretches across 27 dates and more than two dozen theaters, civic auditoriums, and performance halls before the summer additions push it further.

All venues on the theater run enforce a strict no-phone policy using Yondr pouches; devices go into a pouch at the door and remain locked until the show ends.

Dylan turns 85 in May 2026, placing the Woodinville winery dates and the Oklahoma casino show in the weeks immediately following that milestone. With these additions, the full 2026 tour now spans from late March through July. With space to fill between the initial spring series and the new summer concerts, Dylan now has the opportunity to tack on additional dates and expand the tour further into the warmer months.

The complete spring schedule is below.

March 21, Orpheum Theater, Omaha, Nebraska; March 22, Mary W. Sommervold Hall, Sioux Falls, South Dakota; March 24, Mayo Civic Center Arena, Rochester, Minnesota; March 25, Hancher Auditorium, Iowa City, Iowa; March 27, La Crosse Center, La Crosse, Wisconsin; March 28, Coronado Theatre, Rockford, Illinois; March 30, Genesee Theatre, Waukegan, Illinois; March 31, Emens Auditorium, Muncie, Indiana; April 2, DeVos Performance Hall, Grand Rapids, Michigan; April 3, The Theater, Saginaw, Michigan; April 4, Masonic Temple Theatre, Detroit, Michigan; April 6, The Louisville Palace, Louisville, Kentucky; April 9, Palace Theatre, Columbus, Ohio; April 10, KeyBank State Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio; April 12, Winsupply Theatre, Dayton, Ohio; April 14, Knoxville Civic Auditorium, Knoxville, Tennessee; April 16, SKyPAC, Bowling Green, Kentucky; April 17, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, Chattanooga, Tennessee; April 19, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Asheville, North Carolina; April 20, Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, Spartanburg, South Carolina; April 22, Macon City Auditorium, Macon, Georgia; April 23, Dothan Civic Center, Dothan, Alabama; April 25, Thalia Mara Hall, Jackson, Mississippi; April 27, Raising Cane's River Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; April 28, Shreveport Municipal Auditorium, Shreveport, Louisiana; April 29, Cowan Center, Tyler, Texas; May 1, Abilene Auditorium, Abilene, Texas; June 6, Chateau Ste.
