PHOENIX — The times may be a-changing, but Bob Dylan keeps a-touring, and he’s coming back to Phoenix in the fall.
The 77-year-old rock and folk icon — and Nobel Prize winner — is kicking off a North American tour at Comerica Theatre on Oct. 4, it was announced Monday.
If you can’t make it to that show, you’ll have another chance to catch the gravel-voiced legend in action the next night at the Tucson Music Hall.
Tickets for the Arizona shows go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster.
The Phoenix concert comes exactly one week before his son Jakob’s band, The Wallflowers, plays at the Arizona State Fair.
Dylan, who released his first album in 1962, last played in Phoenix, also at Comerica, in 2016. That was just days after it was announced that he’d won the Nobel Prize for literature, becoming the first songwriter to win the prestigious award.
His most recent studio album was 2017’s “Triplicate,” a collection of American classics recorded with his touring band.
Earlier this year, the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee got into the liquor business, releasing a line of whiskey under the Heaven’s Door label.
