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 Gothenburg 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 Scandinavium
Scandinavium is the venue for Bob Dylan's Gothenburg show. The listed address is Valhallagatan 1, Gothenburg. 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 Gothenburg for the concert
A Monday 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.
With a 20:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
