Bob Dylan to Play Brooklyn Bowl Nashville March 26 & 27

Legendary folk troubadour Bob Dylan is headed back to Nashville for two intimate nights at Brooklyn Bowl on March 26 and 27! Winding down a lengthy tour in support of 2020’s Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan’s first album of new material in eight years (he also released an album of re-recordings of some of his earlier material, Shadow Kingdom, last year), this trek, which was initially delayed by the pandemic, already featured one prior stop in Nashville, at The Ryman, where the famed singer has performed numerous times over several decades, in 2022.

No stranger to Music City, the 82-year-old Dylan has played some more intimate spaces in recent years like the aforementioned Ryman Auditorium and TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall, both which seat less than 2,500 people (as well as larger performances at the likes of the former Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel, the Riverfront Park Lawn, before Ascend Amphitheater was built, and Municipal Auditorium, among others), but with a cap of 1,200, Nashville’s relatively new Brooklyn Bowl might be the smallest room the legendary artist has played in Nashville- certainly the smallest we can find record of in the latter years of his career. Famously, Dylan first spent time in Nashville in the mid-’60s, amidst his meteoric rise, and recorded beloved 1966 album Blonde on Blonde right here in Music City with local session players (as well as 1969’s country leaning Nashville Skyline, among others).

Given the size of the venue, demand for these shows is sure to be incredibly high, but you can try your luck at snagging tickets beginning Friday, March 8 at 10 a.m. CST right here, with a rather reasonable starting price of $94.50 (some pre-sales are already underway). Note: these performances will be a phone-free, and attendees will be asked to placed their phones in secure pouches upon entry. The shows are scheduled to begin promptly at 8 p.m., and appear to have no opening acts.
