Bob Dylan, the legendary musician and songwriter, has recently announced that he will be embarking on a tour this year. Fans are thrilled at the news, but there may be a catch. In an unprecedented move, the 83-year-old icon has made the decision to ban the use of phones at his concerts. This means that fans will not be able to take photos or videos during the event.
The tour, named Rough and Rowdy Ways 2024 UK tour, will consist of 10 shows in the United Kingdom, with three consecutive nights at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. The tour will begin in the US in September and then make its way to Europe, starting in Prague on October 4th. Bob's UK tour will take him from Bournemouth to London, with stops in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, and Nottingham.
To enforce the no-phone policy, Bob has partnered with Yondr, a company that specializes in creating phone-free experiences. Upon entering the designated phone-free areas, fans will be required to place their phones in a pouch, which will then be locked away for the duration of the concert. Fans will still have access to their phones, but they will not be able to use them unless they enter a specific zone or tap the unlock point as they leave. This is all in an effort to create a more immersive and nostalgic experience for the audience.
Bob has expressed his desire for these concerts to be "historically resonant and unforgettable events," especially for his performances at the Royal Albert Hall. The organisers hope that by removing the use of phones, the concerts will be more in line with the performances of the past.
Aside from the Royal Albert Hall, the tour will also make stops at other large venues such as the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham and M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. However, Bob will also be performing at smaller, more intimate venues such as the newly refurbished Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, which has hosted some of the biggest names in music.
For those interested in attending these historic concerts, tickets will go on sale on July 19th and can be purchased through the official website. The tour dates are as follows:
