The Never Ending Tour is the popular name for Bob Dylan’s endless touring schedule since June 7, 1988 ^{[1] [2]}.

The Tour

The tour started off with 14 shows in Japan including a 7 show run at the Zepp in Tokyo, Japan ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]} before moving on to a concert in South Korea, the first he had performed there ^[7].

After completing the Asian tour Dylan and the band performed a European Summer Tour comprising 27 dates including his only UK performance of the year at the Hop Farm Festival in Kent. ^{[8] [9]} The European tour finished the next day in Limerick, Ireland. ^[10].

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. ^[11] John Mellencamp was Dylan’s co-headliner for approximately half of the shows ^[12].

The fall tour was mainly a tour of College venues and some smaller theaters such as the Murat Theater in Indianapolis. The tour came to a close in Mashantucket, Connecticut on November 27 after 102 shows. ^[13]
