Bob Dylan Covers The Pogues, Resurrects ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ at Stunning Tour Launch


At the first show of the 2025 Outlaw Music Festival Tour, Dylan played "Mr. Tambourine Man" for the first time since 2010, and covered the Pogues.

The 2025 incarnation of Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan ‘s Outlaw Music Festival Tour launched Tuesday evening at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, Arizona. And much like last summer, Dylan sent shockwaves through his fan community by shredding his standard Rough and Rowdy Ways setlist, and breaking out surprise covers and originals he hadn’t touched in ages. Dylan returned to his song catalog for the first “To Ramona” since 2017, and he followed it up with the Forties R&B classic “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” which has been covered over the years by everyone from Nat King Cole to Bing Crosby and the Rolling Stones.
