Bob Dylan adds Love and Theft rarity to 18-song set as Lights of Autumn tour continues

Slight setlist changes have been made to Bob Dylan‘s Lights of Autumn tour yet again after his performance in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The veteran songwriter has been pulling rarities from Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft out during recent shows, and it happened again during his 18-song set at the Arena Stozice tonight (November 9). Dylan has added the likes of High Water (For Charley Patton), Million Miles, and now Sugar Baby into his set for the first time in years. Sugar Baby was performed for the first time during his previous show on the European and UK tour, during a show at the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno, Italy. Dylan will perform several more shows in Europe before heading to the UK, where he will conclude his 2026 touring schedule.

A full setlist for Dylan’s show at the Arena Stozice from tonight can be found below.

  • Watching the River Flow
  • Love Sick
  • It Ain’t Me, Babe
  • Tryin’ to Get to Heaven
  • High Water (For Charley Patton)
  • I Can Tell (Bo Diddley cover)
  • Black Rider
  • Tangled Up in Blue
  • When I Paint My Masterpiece
  • Not Dark Yet
  • I Can’t Seem to Say Goodbye (Jerry Lee Lewis cover)
  • Early Roman Kings
  • Soon After Midnight
  • Million Miles
  • Under the Red Sky
  • Goodbye Jimmy Reed
  • Sugar Baby
  • I Shall Be Released

Dylan has been alternating the show closer from set to set, with either I Shall Be Released or Every Grain of Sand serving as the final song of the night. I Shall Be Released has been the choice of the last two shows. Also added to tonight’s setlist is Early Roman Kings, which appears to have taken the spot previously held by False Prophet, the Rough and Rowdy Ways song that Dylan performed as part of every show between 2021 and 2025.

Elsewhere in the set are Love and Theft surprises, with Sugar Baby performed for the first time since 2012 at his show in Italy on November 7. Dylan has maintained the Love and Theft deep cut for his set tonight, along with another rip from his 2001 album, High Water (For Charley Patton).

Time Out of Mind songs continue to dominate the setlist too, with Love Sick, Tryin’ to Get to Heaven, Not Dark Yet, and Million Miles all featured. Million Miles had been performed just 70 or so times before the Lights of Autumn Tour, and it has since become a setlist staple, maintaining its spot towards the end of the show.

Dylan has several more dates on his European and UK tour, including five dates at London’s Royal Festival Hall and a trip to Sheffield’s Utilita Arena. He and the band will now travel to Austria for two shows in Vienna, followed by a Salzburg performance on November 14. Then, Dylan will perform four dates in Germany before heading to England for the first of 10 dates to wrap up the tour. The Lights of Autumn tour concludes on December 8.
