Bob Dylan will open a new 2024 leg of his long-running tour supporting the album “Rough and Rowdy Ways” with two concerts at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2.
Tickets start at $59.50+ and will be available via a presale at 10 a.m. Thursday at Ticketmaster.com (access code Spotlight), then go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Friday at BrowardCenter.org.
Dylan will move on to several other concerts in Florida: at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on March 5 and 6, Suncoast Credit Union Arena in Fort Myers on March 7, Walt Disney Theater in Orlando on March 9 and 10, and Moran Theatre in Jacksonville on March 12.
The 82-year-old singer-songwriter — an icon of American culture and recipient of a Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom, among other accolades — leans into his new album on this tour. With good reason.
“Rough and Rowdy Ways,” Dylan’s 39th studio album and his first collection of original songs since 2012, was released in 2020 to wide acclaim. Rolling Stone called it a “masterwork,” with Dylan “channeling cosmic American mysteries like no one else in music.” Pitchfork described “a gorgeous and meticulous record. The lyrics are striking — dense enough to inspire a curriculum, clever enough to quote like proverbs.”
