Dylan's Surprise Van Morrison Cover Stuns Belfast Crowd

Bob Dylan recently surprised concertgoers in Belfast, Ireland, by performing a lesser-known song by Van Morrison. The track, 'Going Down to Bangor,' is from Morrison's 2016 album 'Keep Me Singing' and is not one of his widely recognized hits. This unexpected choice adds a unique element to Dylan's 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' tour, showcasing his penchant for selecting deep cuts from legendary musicians.

This isn't the first time Dylan has shown an affinity for Morrison's work, having covered several of his songs throughout his career. The two artists also have a history of performing together. Similarly, Morrison has covered Dylan's material since the 1960s. Dylan's recent setlists have included other less obvious choices, such as Bo Diddley's 'I Can't Tell' and Bob Weir's 'Only a River.'

Looking ahead, Dylan has announced plans for his 'Rough and Rowdy Ways Show' to continue into early Spring 2026. Fans can anticipate more tour dates to be announced soon, following the conclusion of his current shows in Ireland. This ongoing commitment suggests a sustained period of live performances for the legendary artist.
