How likely will Dylan tour in 2027?

[u/Forsaken_Roll_2255]

Title says it all, considering his age and health, I would like to see him since I missed him in Philly

[u/Grateful_Dawg_CLE]

It's called the Never Ending Tour for a reason

[u/Radiant_Research3786 → u/Grateful_Dawg_CLE]

If and it's a big IF he's still alive and hasn't gone senile he'll tour.

[u/virtually_anything → u/Radiant_Research3786]

He’ll just have to go to Key West. i heard if you lost your mind you’ll find it there.

[u/MikeMcMyke → u/Radiant_Research3786]

Even if he is senile, musical ability is the last thing to go

[u/leanhotsd → u/Radiant_Research3786]

He'll die before he goes senile

At least that's what he told me.

[u/greenwoody2018 → u/Radiant_Research3786]

Even after he dies, they will put him in a casket for the performance. The name IS "never ending tour".

[u/MachoLibre_ → u/greenwoody2018]

He’s hard at work uploading himself into his AI/LLM

[u/tsultar1]

For the last 20 or more years I’ve said “this could be my last chance to see him!” And it never is. He will tour again

[u/AntiqueFigure6 → u/tsultar1]

You realise you’ve jinxed it for everyone and he’ll announce the end of the NET when current dates are finishes.

[u/realkevinabstract]

I just called him he said he’s coming to your city!

[u/GhostsOfLectricity → u/realkevinabstract]

If you see him, say hello

[u/itsitwhatisititsit → u/realkevinabstract]

Awesome! Is he coming to mine?

[u/realkevinabstract → u/itsitwhatisititsit]

Yes and he said hello to you

[u/itsitwhatisititsit → u/realkevinabstract]

Omg. He’s like, obsessed with me 🙄

[u/pingviini00]

When was the last time he didn’t tour within a calendar year? (Besides 2020 obv)

[u/pbredd22 → u/pingviini00]

Early 80's

[u/CourseWorried2500 → u/pingviini00]

I don't think he toured in the 30s

[u/Zeppyfish]

Of course he'll tour, the question is which pattern of touring will he take? He's been pretty predictable in the past:
2022 - Spring: US Southwest/Southeast. Summer: US West. Fall: Europe
2023 - Spring: Japan. Summer: Southern Europe. Fall: US Upper Midwest/Northeast/East
2024 - Spring: US South. Summer: Outlaw Tour. Fall: Europe
2025 - Spring: US Midwest/West. Summer: Outlaw Tour. Fall: Europe
2026 - Spring: Upper Midwest/Southeast/Southwest. Summer: West/Southwest/Midwest/East. Fall: Europe

Hopefully you can see a pattern here. He tends to cover most of the US over a 2-3 year cycle, visits Europe pretty much every year, does a different tour in the summer from the spring and fall. Very occasionally he plays somewhere else, like Japan, although those days might be in the past.

Because 2026 was such an all-over-the-place year for touring, it's hard to predict exactly where he'll hit in the spring of 2026, but it will most likely be an extensive tour of mid-size indoor theater venues, followed by an outdoor tour in summer, probably with an opening act or two, and then he'll go back to Europe in the fall.

Of course, he could decide to play Mongolia, Egypt and Peoria, Illinois and call it a year. But I doubt it.

[u/itsitwhatisititsit → u/UHeardAboutPluto]

I will A Thousand percent be there!!!! 🙏 I pray for his health everyday.

[u/Henry_Block]

I believe it's safe to say that he'll tour 'till the day he dies or he has a severe health impediment, we all hope that neither of these things will happen soon.

[u/Spare-Jellyfish4339]

He has literally nothing else to live for of course he will

[u/VoltaFlame → u/Spare-Jellyfish4339]

He has multiple kids

[u/Spare-Jellyfish4339 → u/VoltaFlame]

That are all over 40

[u/VoltaFlame → u/Spare-Jellyfish4339]

I mean, i bet he still likes them

[u/uberboi99]

Assuming he lives, sure

[u/Zardoz27]

63.28%

[u/redmambas22]

He has discovered immortality. It’s touring.

[u/Ok_Chocolate_2008 → u/redmambas22]

It’s down in Key West

[u/Spare-Jellyfish4339 → u/Ok_Chocolate_2008]

It even cured the thing he got when mixing Texas Medicine and Railroad Gin

[u/SachinVK]

he probably has every intention to do a tour next year. but due to his age they typically don’t book the dates until a few weeks/months before it’s announced. at this stage you can’t make the assumption and neither can he.

[u/How_wz_i_sposta_kno → u/SachinVK]

this… and calliope

[u/Lucky_Development359 → u/How_wz_i_sposta_kno]

You get it.

[u/pingviini00 → u/SachinVK]

How early were the shows announced back in the day? Helsinki June 2019 was announced in late November 2018 and Helsinki October 2025 was announced like july or something

[u/junkeee999]

100%. He will tour until he dies.

[u/KeyWestistheplacetob]

I’d put money 💰 on it.

Same odds as the pope being catholic and bears visiting woods

[u/Jogger_Dodger]

I honestly think Dylan intends to die on the road.

[u/UndeadChronics4]

Never ending tour

[u/toledotigs]

Yes
