Bob Dylan will play for three shows in Swansea in November as he returns to the UK and Ireland for 13 shows.
The 84-year-old will be doing more shows in the city’s Building Society Arena than anywhere else on this leg of the tour, which takes place in November.
He will also visit Brighton, Coventry, Leeds, Glasgow, Belfast, Killarney and Dublin on the Rough And Rowdy Ways tour, which will be entirely phone-free with attendees asked to lock away their devices in pouches on entry.
The US singer-songwriter took his surname from the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who hailed from Swansea.
The gigs will take place four years into the tour, which began in November 2021, and fans will be asked to put their phones in a Yondr pouch, which closes automatically when in the venue and unlocks on the venue’s concourse.
Dylan has won 10 Grammys and been nominated for a further 38, as well as six UK top 10 singles and nine UK number one albums.
He began his career in 1962 but shot to fame with a string of successful singles in 1965, including The Times They Are A-Changin’, Subterranean Homesick Blues and Like A Rolling Stone.
He was also the first songwriter to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on 18 July.
