Unlike tours of small US balls fields in the 2004 and 2005 era, most of the appearances are in upscale soft-seat venues. You don’t need blankets, folding chairs and there will be no loose joints smoked in the audience.

Here are the dates, venues and seating capacities. Obviously, the best seats will sell early when ticketing opens on February 20th, 2015 for most venues. Atlantic City tickets open on February 21st and Nashville, Tennessee to San Antonio, Texas on February 27th.  There may be pre-sales announced by email to BobDylan.com subscribers.

The big speculation will be on what the concert set-list will look like. Will there be new material from Shadows In The Night or more like last year with a focus on Tempest and other recent albums?

Bob Dylan keeps his cards close to the chest so we’ll just have to wait and watch Expecting Rain and Bob Links.  Of course, the best bet is to get early tickets and enjoy the show. Reading about the show afterwards cannot compare with the real thing.

After some 2013 rumors Dylan would retire, he rallied late in the tour that year and broke out in 2014 with strong dates everywhere. Call him indefatigable or at least an artist who paces himself well in his 74th year.

Bob Dylan fans in the rest of the United States and Canada can only hope he swings by their neighborhoods this summer. “Then time will tell just who fell
and who’s been left behind when you go your way and I go mine.”  Most Likely You Go Your Way And I’ll Go Mine

Bob Dylan’s music on Sony / Columbia Records is available from Bob Dylan on Amazon.com, Amazon.ca in Canada, and Amazon.co.uk in the UK.

Also available for direct download from Bob Dylan on iTunes.
