On July 21st, Bob Dylan is set to perform at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, marking his first appearance there since 2016’s Never Ending Tour.
Before this, his last show at the iconic venue was way back in 1965. Fans might recall that concert, which was notable for being Byrd’s second performance after transitioning to electric at the Newport Folk Festival. After a few acoustic numbers, he cranked up the volume for the latter half, leading to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Many shouted for the “old Dylan,” but it took him 51 years to return.
If you’re interested in seeing this 10-time Grammy winner for his third performance at Forest Hills, last-minute tickets are still available.
At the moment, the most affordable ticket is priced at $148, including fees, on SeatGeek.
For those wanting floor seats, prices start around $279, also inclusive of fees.

During this tour, dubbed the Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour, Dylan will support his acclaimed 2020 album. Special guests joining him include Lucinda Williams and Jimmie Vaughan.
It’s hard to predict what kind of show Dylan will deliver. But according to setlist FM, he performed 16 songs in his last gig in Pittsburgh on July 12th.
Songs from that concert featured classics from the ’60s and ’70s like “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “I Shall Be Released,” and “When I Paint My Masterpiece,” alongside tracks from Rough and Rowdy Ways and covers of Jerry Lee Lewis and Bo Diddley.
One critic expressed that while Dylan puts on a great show, it requires an audience willing to embrace the unique atmosphere. “With dim lighting and a setlist that dives deep into his catalog, the ambiance straddles the line between ‘The Roadhouse of After-Time Dreams’ and ‘The Eternal Waiting Room.’
Fans of Dylan, you’ll want to be there.
