A quiet night with no phone lights — just music that speaks for itself
On a quiet August morning, fans in Ireland woke up to the kind of news that stops time: Bob Dylan will return to Ireland this November 2025 for five highly anticipated shows as part of his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour — his first visit since 2022.
At 83 years old, Dylan shows no signs of slowing down. The tour dates include:
-
Belfast – Waterfront Hall: November 18 & 19
-
Killarney – INEC Arena: November 23 & 24
-
Dublin – 3Arena: November 25
His choice of Killarney, a small southern town, has surprised and deeply moved fans. Dylan usually favors major cities, making this a rare and intimate setting for longtime admirers.
Unlike many performers today, Dylan asks his audience to keep their phones away. No livestreams, no selfies — just guitars, gravelly vocals aged by time, and the pure presence of a poet-musician baring his soul.
The Rough and Rowdy Ways tour has been ongoing since 2021, with over 150 shows across the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Despite minimal advertising, each concert sells out quickly — a testament to Dylan’s enduring magnetism and Nobel-worthy artistry.
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 18 at 10 AM on Ticketmaster. Many believe this could be Dylan’s final tour in Ireland — not just due to age, but because his appearances have become increasingly rare.
No standing ovations. No camera flashes. Just melodies that travel deeper than sound. That’s the gift Bob Dylan offers — for those willing to sit quietly and truly listen.
