Bob Dylan 2026 European and UK tour

Overview

Bob Dylan began the European and United Kingdom leg of his 2026 tour, titled the ‘Lights of Autumn’ tour, in October. The tour officially commenced with a performance at the Oslo Spektrum in Norway on October 17.

The Oslo concert featured several notable surprises and setlist revisions. Dylan performed ‘Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)’ for the first time since 2005 and reintroduced ‘Tangled Up in Blue’ with significantly revised lyrics. The performance also included covers of songs by Guy Clark and Bo Diddley, as well as Randy Newman’s ‘Louisiana 1927’, which was noted as the first time Dylan has performed material from Newman’s catalog. The 19-song set concluded with encores of ‘I Shall Be Released’ and ‘You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere’.

Notably, the Oslo show introduced a new guitarist, Mike Seal, who is the sixth guitarist to join Dylan’s touring lineup within a five-month period. Following the opening in Norway, the tour moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, where Dylan performed at the Scandinavium. This show included the tour debuts of ‘Girl from the North Country’, ‘Spirit on the Water’, and ‘Every Grain of Sand’.

As the tour progressed to Flensburg, Germany, setlists continued to feature a mix of classics and rare tracks. The tour is scheduled to continue through several European cities, including stops in Bremen, Germany, as well as Belgium, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, before concluding with five shows at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
