Madrid (EFE) hours will hang the “no tickets” sign at some stops.
This is the case of his concert at the Generalife in Granada, which will take place on June 13 and, from tonight and tomorrow, in the two commitments in Madrid with which he will open both his tour of this country and the cycle of the capital Noches del Botánico at prices ranging between 165 and 325 euros.
Twelve concerts in total
Twelve will be a total of concerts that will offer on national soil. In addition to those mentioned, this June it will pass through Seville (10 and 11, Fibes Auditorium), Alicante (15, bullring), Huesca (17, bullring), San Sebastián (19 and 20, Kursaal Auditorium) , Logroño (21, Palacio de los Deportes de La Rioja) and Barcelona (23 and 24, Gran Teatre del Liceu).
Given what was seen while passing through Portugal in the previous days, calling the tour after his album “Rough and Rowdy Ways” (2020) was not a mere nominal matter, since his thirty-ninth studio work, the first with songs originals since “Tempest” (2012), will occupy more than half of the live repertoire and only one song will be left unsung.
The nostalgic will at least be able to enjoy the other half of the “show” with some of the cuts included in his feature film and album “Shadow Kingdom” (2023), the result of a concert two years ago in which he reinterpreted historical songs from his catalog , although these live shows are not expected to include the best-known ones, such as “Forever Young” or “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”.

From that album will come the start of their dates in Europe, “Watching the River Flow”, which was their debut single, as well as other cuts such as the sixties “Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine”.
Apart from these two recent works, in principle Dylan will hardly give his followers more than a couple of glimpses into the past with “Gotta serve somebody”, from his album “Slow Train Coming” (1979), and the closing with “Every Grain of Sand”, taken from “Shot of love” (1981).
Neither “All Along the Watchtower”, nor “Like a Rolling Stone”, nor “Blowin’ in the Wind” will sneak into the repertoire in theory, something that will not shock those who have followed the latest tours of the American bard, little friend of recreate in their own honey or, when lavished on them, do it in conventional versions (rather than twist them until they are almost unrecognizable).
The artist who, for example, on his way through Madrid in 2015 did not hesitate to play for a good part of his performance with his back to the public, will also insist on the prohibition of mobile phones during his shows, just as in his last appearances on stage.
To ensure that this rule is met, in theory to enjoy with the heightened senses and not dependent on technology, attendees will be forced to seal their terminals in bags that they will carry throughout the concert but that will prevent them from using them until leaving the premises.
