Bob Dylan marks 85th birthday as fans book summer shows
Bob Dylan turned 85 on May 24, 2026, and fans have booked tickets for his upcoming summer concerts. Supporters marked the milestone by revisiting classic performances including "Not Dark Yet," the 1974 "Idiot Wind" Blood on the Tracks session, and the 1965 Newport live clip of "Like a Rolling Stone." Dylan's continued touring at 85 and the focus on those signature songs underscore his enduring influence on folk and rock and explain why audiences are still seeking summer tickets.
Happy 85th birthday to Bob Dylan! This is a mural of Bob on 4th St. SE in Dinkytown. Is that a bus with wings or a streetcar with wings in the mural? Definitely route 6 …
Chris Steller6Definitely streetcar, was my first thought. Although … it’s true by Dylan’s time as a Dinkytown resident the streetcars were gone. Maybe the muralist skillfully thread the needle there between streetcar and bus. Both would have been Route 6.
Odin3Bob Dylan is still touring at 85. Let that sink in & also consider this: he isn't charging a lot to see him -- nothing like it costs to see Taylor Swift, Beyonce or the Stones. Despite the fact he's the most recorded songwriter in history.
atiraslight.bsky.social3FYI: Bob Dylan was born in northern Minnesota.
Lesley Cox2I just went to his concert last month. First time ever. He and his band were perfect 👌 multiple standing ovations.
MsMae2I thought it was an old dinning car. Like Mickey's or the Hi-Lo.
Happy 85th birthday to the greatest songwriter in the history of the United States, Bob Dylan. How fortunate we are to live at the same time as him and the music he's given us.
Tisha4Indeed. I saw Bruce’s Hope and Dreams tour Tues in Pittsburgh and tonight in Boston. It is fitting in a thousand ways that he closes the encore with Chimes of Freedom. 💙
Keith M.3What is so great about Bob Dylan? I've never been a fan of his performances and his songs.
David Nice2Well, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and the Gershwins have equal claim to the title. But yes.
relaxed2rp2I still remember the first time I listened to Hurricane all the way through, I didn't want it to end.....
