Bob Dylan will be performing a series of shows in Japan this coming April as part of his ongoing ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways 2021-2024’ world tour – see the full list of dates below.

The tour was announced by Live Nation Japan on Thursday (February 9) and will see Dylan perform a total of 11 shows in Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya over the span of two weeks.

Dylan’s series of concerts in the country will kick off in Osaka’s Festival Hall for three consecutive nights between April 6 and April 8. After Osaka, Dylan will perform at the Tokyo Garden Theater in the Japanese capital for five nights over April 11-16.

Finally, Dylan will be playing three nights in a row at the Aichi Arts Center in Nagoya on April 18, 19, and 20.

According to Live Nation Japan, Dylan’s upcoming shows in the country – held to promote his lauded 2020 album ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways’ – will mark the 45th anniversary of his first visit there. He last toured Japan in April 2016 as part of his ‘Never Ending Tour’, also playing Seoul, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore between July and August that year.

Between May and July last year, Dylan embarked on the third leg of the tour in the US, before kicking off the European leg starting in Oslo, Norway in September and ending it in Dublin, Ireland on November 7.
