Background

Dylan's 39th studio album was released in June 2020. The release was originally set to coincide with Dylan's 2020 Never Ending Tour with Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and The Hot Club of Cowtown. The 'Never Ending Tour 2020' was then postponed and later cancelled entirely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Shadow Kingdom: The Early Songs of Bob Dylan was later released in July 2021 in lieu of any live performances. Shadow Kingdom showcases Dylan in an intimate setting as he performs songs from his extensive body of work, created especially for this event. It marked his first concert performance since December 2019, and first performance since his universally acclaimed album Rough and Rowdy Ways.[3] The earliest composition in the set list was "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" from the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home and the most recent composition was "What Was It You Wanted" from 1989's Oh Mercy.[4]

The Rough and Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour (2021-2024) was announced in September 2021.[5] The shows were announced as the first leg of a world tour in support of Dylan's album, Rough And Rowdy Ways, set to run until 2024. It was the first time he had played to a live audience since December of 2019, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forcing Dylan to pause his decades-long 'Never Ending Tour'.[6]
