The show is presented by AEG and is part of Dylan's 2021-24 "Rough and Rowdy Ways" tour in support of his 39th studio album of the same title, which was released in 2020. The show is set for 8 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters, Dylan has been a major figure in pop culture during a career spanning 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements, according to information from wikipedia.com

Since 1994, Dylan has also published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. He has sold more than 125 million records, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.

Dylan last performed in Lubbock in 2009, joining Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp for a show at Texas Tech's Jones AT&T Stadium. He was scheduled to return to the Hub City in 2016 at the now-demolished City Bank Auditorium but that show was cancelled three weeks in advance. The promoter gave "tour scheduling conflicts" as the reason for the cancellation back in 2016, according to an Avalanche-Journal story at the time.

Ticket prices for Tuesday's show are $59, $89 and $129, with a limited number of VIP packages also available. Call (806) 79-BUDDY / (806) 792-8339 for more information.

Tickets for the show are available through bobdylan.com and buddyhollyhall.com.
