By Stig Editor Bob Dylan Announces U.S. Tour to Kick Off Global Comeback: “It Starts at Home”
June 4, 2025 — Music legend Bob Dylan has officially announced a highly anticipated U.S. tour, marking the beginning of a brand-new world tour that will see the icon take his music across continents once again. The announcement sent waves of excitement through the music world as Dylan, now 84, shows no signs of slowing down.
Titled “The Road Begins Here”, the U.S. leg of the tour will launch in Tulsa, Oklahoma—home of the Bob Dylan Center—before winding through major cities like Chicago, Nashville, New York, Austin, and San Francisco. The opening night is set for August 15, 2025, and will feature a mix of intimate theater performances and large-scale arena shows, tailored to capture both the raw spirit of Dylan’s early days and the powerful presence he commands today.
In a rare public statement, Dylan explained the decision to start the world tour in the United States:
“This country’s roads taught me the blues, the folk, the poetry. It’s where the stories began, so it’s where the journey begins again.”
The tour comes on the heels of Dylan’s recent humanitarian efforts, including the opening of an orphanage in Minnesota, further deepening his legacy as a cultural and philanthropic force. While he’s remained largely out of the limelight in recent years, his music—timeless and ever-relevant—continues to influence generations.
Fans can expect a setlist that spans his expansive career, from 1960s classics like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Like a Rolling Stone”, to tracks from his later works such as “Rough and Rowdy Ways.” Sources close to Dylan’s team suggest he may also surprise audiences with unreleased material written during his recent quiet years.
Industry insiders are calling this tour one of the most significant musical events of the decade. Ticket sales are expected to open next week, and early demand is already soaring. VIP packages, which include access to exclusive Dylan memorabilia and possibly a meet-and-greet at select venues, are rumored to be part of the offering.
Following the U.S. leg, Dylan will head to Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia, with dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Each stop promises to celebrate not only Dylan’s music but also his enduring message: of freedom, truth, and the ever-changing human spirit.
For fans new and old, “The Road Begins Here” is more than just a tour—it’s a journey back into the heart of American music, led by the man who helped shape its soul.
“Don’t think twice, it’s all right,” he once sang—but for those who’ve waited patiently, this is the moment to think twice… and buy a ticket.
