The Never Ending Tour is the popular name for Bob Dylan's endless touring schedule since June 7, 1988.[1] [2] [3]

Background

The first leg of the tour, taking place solely in North America, was announced on February 12, 2015, with several dates in Memphis, Tulsa, Kansas City and St. Louis being announced in the following days and weeks.[4] [5] [6]

Dylan planned an extensive tour of Europe split between the summer and fall. During the summer Dylan and his band performed mainly at festivals and large arenas. During the fall Dylan and his band performed mainly in theatres and mid-sized arenas, including a five-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall in London.[7] His performances at the Royal Albert Hall were awarded a five-star review from the Financial Times[8] and his performances at the O2 Apollo in Manchester were given a four-star rating by the Manchester Evening News.[9]
