Bob Dylan returns with another tour to Spain

Four years after his last tour of Spain, Bob Dylan returns this Wednesday with another tour designed for his most unconditional followers and behind the backs of lovers of his most emblematic past, which did not stop him from hanging a sign “in a few hours. no tickets” on some points of view.

It is about his concert at the Generalife in Granada, which will take place on June 13, and from tonight and tomorrow, he will have two commitments in Madrid, with which he will open his tour of this country and the cycle of the capital. Noches del Botánico at prices ranging between 165 and 325 euros.

A total of twelve concerts

There will be a total of twelve concerts that will be held on home soil. In addition to those mentioned, this month of June will also pass Seville (Days 10 and 11, Fibes Auditorium), Alicante (15, Bullring), Huesca (17, Bullring), San Sebastián (19 and 20, Kursaal Auditorium), Logroño (21, Palacio de los Deportes de La Rioja) and Barcelona (23 and 24, Gran Teatre del Liceu).

What was seen was seen as it passed Portugal in the days before, naming the tour after his album “Rough and Rough Ways” (2020) was not just a nominal issue, since his thirty-ninth studio work, the first with original songs after “Storm” (2012), will occupy more than half of the live repertoire, and only one song will remain unsung.

Nostalgic fans will at least be able to enjoy the second half “Show” with some of the clips included in his feature film and album “Shadow Kingdom” (2023), the result of a concert two years ago where he reinterpreted historical songs from his own Catalogalthough these live performances are not expected to include the most famous ones, such as “Forever Young” or “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”.

agreement with Europe

Aside from those two recent works, Dylan will initially struggle to give his followers more than a few glimpses into the past with “Gotta serve somebody,” from his disk “Slow Train Coming” (1979), and ends with “Every Grain of Sand”, taken from “Shot of love” (1981).

Neither “All Along the Watchtower”, neither “Like a rolling stone”nor will “Blowin’ in the Wind” theoretically sneak into the repertoire, something that will not shock those who have followed the latest tours of the American bard, a little friend of enjoying your own honey or, when it is wasted, to do it in conventional versions (instead of you twist them until they become almost unrecognizable).

The artist who, for example, passed through Madrid in 2015, did not hesitate to play a good part of the performance with his back turned. public They will also insist on banning the use of cell phones during their performances, as well as during their last performances on stage.
