Bob Dylan’s "Rough and Rowdy Ways" tour is continuing into 2025 – and the first set of dates for the year have been announced in some smaller U.S. cities. 

Dylan previously announced on social media that the first stop is on March 25 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This week, three more locations were revealed. 

It comes after the release of the Oscar-nominated biopic, "A Complete Unknown," starring Timothée Chalamet. The film focuses on the years between when Dylan, a native of Minnesota, arrived in New York in 1961 and when he blew the doors off the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 by adding a Fender Stratocaster.

What we know:

The 2025 shows are part of Dylan’s "Rough And Rowdy Ways" tour, which has been ongoing since 2021. After the announcement of the Tulsa date, three more shows were announced in smaller towns and cities:

  • March 25, 2025 – Tulsa, Oklahoma @ Tulsa Theater
  • March 29, 2025 – Wichita, Kansas @ Century II Concert Hall
  • April 4, 2025 – Mankato, Minnesota @ Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center
  • April 6, 2025 – Green Bay, Wisconsin @ The Weidner-Cofrin Family Hall

Tickets for the Tulsa date are currently on sale via Dylan's website. The Wichita and Green Bay dates go on sale Jan. 31, followed by Feb. 1 for the Mankato tour stop. 

What we don't know:

Additional 2025 tour stops have not yet been announced. It’s also unclear what fans can expect at these upcoming shows. 

As Rolling Stone notes, the tour in 2021 through early 2024 focused mostly on songs from Dylan’s 2020 album "Rough and Rowdy Ways," and "rarely changed from night to night." The set was later overhauled and replaced with songs from throughout his career like "Under the Red Sky," "Shooting Star," "All Along the Watchtower," and "Things Have Changed," as well as some covers, according to the outlet. So, fans will have to wait and see.
