Bob Dylan's Tour Features Surprise Setlist & New Guitarist
9 Nov
Summary
- Bob Dylan is performing rare and unexpected songs on his current tour.
- Guitarist Julian Lage has rejoined Dylan's touring band.
- The tour has seen multiple guitarists change throughout its run.
Bob Dylan's "Lights of Autumn" tour, commencing October 17, 2026, in Oslo, Norway, has featured a dynamic live set with the inclusion of unexpected and rarely performed songs. Fans have noted the resurgence of deep cuts and reimagined tracks, including "Sugar Baby," which hadn't been played live since 2012.
The tour has also experienced significant changes in its guitar lineup. Jazz guitarist Julian Lage has returned to the band, taking over from Mike Seal, who departed after just eight concerts. Lage's involvement is intermittent, as his schedule permits, marking his fifth stint with the group since June of this year.
This fluid guitar situation is part of a broader pattern, with six different guitarists having performed with Dylan over the past few months. The tour, which continues through December 8, 2026, in London, is expected to maintain its focus on material from "The Basement Tapes," "Time Out of Mind," and "Love and Theft" for its remaining dates.
