THE LIVE SHOW
What Bob Dylan concerts are like
A Bob Dylan concert is not a greatest-hits night. He mostly sits at the piano with a small, tight band, and songs, including classics, are rearranged so heavily that some are hard to recognise until the chorus. Recent tours have focused on songs from Rough and Rowdy Ways.
He rarely speaks to the audience and does not use big screens. Many venues require phones to be locked in sealed pouches, so the room is unusually focused on the stage. For long-time fans, hearing how he reinvents his own songs is the whole point.
Tips for the London show
- Expect a phone-free show; phones are often sealed in pouches at the door.
- Do not expect the classic versions of his famous songs.
- Seats with a clear view of the piano are worth choosing.
New to the music? Rough and Rowdy Ways is the best preparation for his recent setlists, with Blood on the Tracks for the classics.

Getting to Royal Festival Hall
Royal Festival Hall is the venue for Bob Dylan's London show. The listed address is Belvedere Road, London. Check the venue's entry times and bag policy before the day, and plan your route home in advance, as large concerts often finish when public transport is at its busiest.
Travelling to London for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Heathrow Airport (LHR). A Thursday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
Flying in the day before the concert leaves room for delays and gives you time to see London before the show.
