Bob Dylan’s first European show of 2026 kicked off with a 19-song setlist featuring a collection of covers, Tangled Up in Blue, and an encore featuring I Shall Be Released.
It marks a major change-up to Dylan’s setlist, which had remained largely the same across the North American tour earlier this year. The 19-song setlist featured songs from Blood on the Tracks, Under the Red Sky, and just two songs from his latest studio album, Rough and Rowdy Ways. Dylan ditched the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour title for this tour of Europe and the UK, and has adjusted his setlist appropriately as a result. To Be Alone With You and Man in the Long Black Coat remained in the setlist, which saw major changes and the inclusion of Tangled Up in Blue for the first time since 2018.

The set marked the first time Dylan has covered the Newman song, Louisiana, and also a first-time performance of Clark’s Dublin Blues. The show also marked the first performance of You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere since 2012, where the song was a semi-regular setlist staple through November.
It marks a major overhaul to the setlist Dylan and his touring band provided North American audiences earlier this year. His last show in the US for this year took place on August 1 and featured more Rough and Rowdy Ways songs. A full setlist for the Ascend Amphitheater show in Nashville can be found below.
