Bob Dylan has announced plans for his first tour in the United Kingdom in over five years.

The 81-year-old folk and rock musician from the U.S. will play nine shows in October 2022. These shows are a part of his 'Rough and Rowdy Ways Worldwide Tour,' which kicked off in December 2021 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The singer-songwriter hasn't performed in the UK since co-headlining London's BST Hyde Park with Neil Young in 2019. Before that, in 2017, he brought his 'Never Ending Tour' to the United Kingdom.

Since the ongoing tour kicked off in December 2021, Bob Dylan has performed 74 stellar concerts across the country to thousands of ecstatic fans who were eager to see him live.

Earlier this month, a new one-off recording of the mercurial musician's hit song 'Blowin' In The Wind' sold at auction for nearly £1.5 million.

The song marks the first new studio recording of the song since the genius songwriter wrote it in 1962 and had it auctioned off by Christie's in London. It was recorded with Dylan's long-time collaborator T. Bone Burnett in March 2021 and featured as part of Christie's Exceptional Sale during Classic Week.

Throughout his 60-year career, Dylan has received numerous honors, including the Nobel Prize in Literature. He also recently performed in the United Kingdom in April and May 2017 as part of his 'Never Ending Tour.'
