1800 W Riverside Ave
Cost: 59.50-149.50 Bob Dylan is returning to Emens Auditorium on his 2026 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' Tour!
Bob Dylan is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. As a musician, he has shaped popular music in innumerable ways — from inspiring the Beatles and bringing folk-rock into the mainstream to proving that electric guitars could be as revolutionary as acoustic ones.
Bob Dylan’s career has lasted the better part of sixty years now. He has never gotten by on sentimentality or nostalgia. He has never repeated his successes. Dylan has always pushed his work ahead.
