Bob Dylan Is Touring the U.S. — And He’s Hitting Awesomely Remote Towns

If you want to see Bob Dylan live this year, you'll need to head out to towns like Green Bay, Wisconsin and Mankato, Minnesota.

Bob Dylan has released the initial dates for the 2025 leg of his Never Ending Tour, and it features stops in small markets that rarely get A-list acts. The population is a mere 46,000, and the venue Dylan is hitting usually hosts events like the Folsom Prison Experience(a Johnny Cash tribute show), the Minnesota Valley Action Council’s Lip Sync Battle, and the Pork Congress, which is billed as “the Midwest’s BEST swine specific trade show and education… designed exclusively for pig farmers and pork industry stakeholders.” Every Rough and Rowdy Ways song was gone, replaced by tunes from throughout his career like “Under the Red Sky,” “Shooting Star,” “All Along the Watchtower,” and “Things Have Changed.” He also added in covers like Chuck Berry’s “Little Queenie,” the Grateful Dead’s “Stella Blue,” and Paul Davis’ “Six Days on the Road.”
