Background

The tour started off with 14 shows in Japan including a 7 show run at Zepp Tokyo^[3][4] before moving on to a concert in South Korea, the first he had performed there.^[5]

After completing the Asian tour Dylan and the band performed a European Summer Tour comprising 27 dates including his only United Kingdom performance of the year at the Hop Farm Festival in Kent.^[6] The European tour finished the next day in Limerick, Ireland.^[7]

After touring Europe Dylan returned home to the United States for a month-long summer tour beginning on August 4 in Austin, Texas and ending on September 4 in Seattle, Washington and Bumbershoot. John Mellencamp was Dylan's co-headliner for approximately half of the shows.^[8]
