Bob Dylan will return to Chattanooga in 2026 as a part of the just-announced, 27-date U.S. leg of his “Rough And Rowdy Ways” tour.

The concert, set for April 17 at Memorial Auditorium, will be Dylan’s second visit to the Scenic City during the current tour. He performed at the Tivoli in 2022, according to Chattanooga Times Free Press archives.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, according to the Tivoli website. Ticketmaster shows the venue presale started at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The concert will be phone-free, according to the event description on the Tivoli website. All phones will be secured in Yondr pouches — phone-size fabric pouches that can only be unlocked with a special magnetic unlocking device. Guests will maintain possession of their phones at all times and can access their phone during the event at a designated area, but the devices will be resecured before entering the auditorium, according to the website.

Dylan is set to visit Knoxville’s Civic Auditorium on April 14.
