Information
The tour started in Stockholm, Sweden at an intimate concert at Berns Salonger.[3] Dylan performed five concerts in England. One of which was at the Roundhouse in London which was a concert especially for the members of the BobDylan.com fan club.[4][5][6] Dylan also performed at the Edinburgh Playhouse, the first time he had performed in the city since April 1995.[7][8][9][10]
After completing the 33 date European tour Dylan returned to the United States to perform a summer ballpark tour.[11] He was joined on the tour by Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp.[12] The tour consisted of 31 dates. Dylan performed at Summerfest in Milwaukee [13][14] and Rothbury Festival in Rothbury, Michigan.[15][16][17]
