Just Announced: Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

Sat 28 October

Motorpoint Arena


Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Bob Dylan is back with his 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' World Tour.?

Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the wind" (1963) and
"The Times they are a- changin'"?(1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.

As you may have seen in the news yesterday, this gig will be phone free, as Bob is annoyed about the sea of arms that go up to capture the musical moment. All ticket holders for this tour will have to place their phones into pouches with magnetic locks.
