Bob Dylan has featured the same songs across his Spring 2026 tour, including a rare track which has surprised gig-goers.
The veteran songwriter, 84, is set to perform across North America over spring and summer, with Dylan announcing further shows for July and August. Dylan’s performance at Raising Caine’s River Center featured a setlist similar to previous nights on the tour, with the legendary performer playing electric keyboard for many of the songs. The sixteen-song setlist featured hits from John Wesley Harding and Time Out of Mind, as well as a rare song from Oh Mercy which, before this tour, had not been performed by Dylan since 2013.

Fans have since taken to the r/BobDylan subreddit and shared their love of a previous show on the Spring 2026 tour. One fan who attended the show in Macon, Georgia, wrote: “EXCELLENT show. I hope there’s a good tape of it. The sound was incredible and a lot of that credit goes to whoever figured out the mic situation where Dylan can sing into one mic for when he’s standing (a surprisingly large portion of the show) and another one for sitting down.
“I guess they are fading those mics up and down depending on where he’s at but I wonder if they aren’t doing something else to isolate them so well and have Bob cut through the mix perfectly.
“The band was on fire and man, Anton Fig is absolutely the right drummer for this era. The two acoustic guitars sounded crystal clear, great detail and dynamics, beautiful playing by Doug Lancio and Bob Britt. It’s been said already about this tour but I love going ‘acoustic’ just lets the band rock out that much harder, instead of trying to play the most restrained and quiet electric guitar possible.
“Dylan also seems to have stepped up his game on the piano/keyboard, or at least seems to be making a lot of great choices and less bum notes sprinkled in (which I don’t mind either, given he’s pretty much just riffing on the fly with that). It’s also a lot of fun watching Tony watch Bob for cues and communicate that to the rest of the band. It’s almost like telepathy the way just the shortest glimpse from Dylan seems to be enough to say let’s end it here, or let’s keep going another 16 bars, etc.”
