Bob Dylan is going on tour in Europe this autumn as part of his highly acclaimed Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, with three concerts at Prague’s O₂ Universum scheduled between October 4 and 6, 2024. Tickets go on sale on July 19 at 10:00 a.m.
Bob Dylan is undoubtedly the most important individual performer of the rock era, the incarnation of a counterculture, and the songwriter of the century. The exceptional artist “means to pop music what Einstein means to physics,” wrote the US news magazine Newsweek. Bob Dylan’s outstanding importance is also recognized by the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he is the only musician to receive to date. umerous Grammy awards, including one for his lifetime achievement, further document the great recognition of this brilliant singer-songwriter.
Bob Dylan has reinvented himself repeatedly, changing directions, disappearing, only to rise again like a meteor. Dylan did not allow himself to be appropriated; he determined the tempo, rhythm, and content of his work. He defined the ideals, fears, and moods of generations with his songs. The poetry of his lyrics and the lyricism of his music lend him a literary quality. His keen powers of observation and his political understanding made him the natural mouthpiece of the youth, whose awakening he helped to initiate and accompany in the 1960s.
Dylan’s songs are not only classics but also true-to-life poetry. Many of them have become part of American literature: “The Times They Are A-Changin'”, “Blowin’ in the Wind”, “Like a Rolling Stone”, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”, “Chimes of Freedom” – to name but a few. His albums have reached a total circulation of more than 110 million.
Tickets for Bob Dylan’s concerts in October 2024 at the O₂ Universum in Prague are available via the Live Nation CZ website.
