Bob Dylan has confirmed he will play nine dates in the UK this autumn.

The Grammy-winning singer will perform in Glasgow Clyde Aud, Blackpool Opera House and London’s Royal Albert Hall in November.

Dylan’s newly-announced UK dates follow a series of gigs in Europe, including Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin and Amsterdam.

The rocker last performed in Britain at the Hop Farm music festival in Kent last year.

The “Subterranean Homesick Blues” singer will be playing tracks from his latest album Tempest, released in 2012, as well as from other classic albums such as The Times They Are a’Changin’ and John Wesley Harding.

Dylan was honoured with a special Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”

Tickets for Bob Dylan’s November UK dates go on sale at 9am on Friday 14 June.
