Bob Dylan Erects a Watchtower in the Desert With Moody, Magisterial Show at Palm Springs’ Acrisure Arena: Concert Review

Bob Dylan performed a concert at Palm Springs' Acrisure Arena on March 15, 2026, as part of his "Long Hot Summer '26" tour. During the show, Dylan included "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You," a song from his 2020 album "Rough and Rowdy Ways," in his setlist. This tour marks Dylan's return to live performances following a period of relative quiet. Critics noted the magisterial and moody atmosphere of the performance, highlighting Dylan's enduring stage presence and the continued relevance of his musical catalog. The Acrisure Arena, a relatively new venue, hosted the event, drawing a significant crowd for the iconic musician. The "Rough and Rowdy Ways" album, released in 2020, has been a consistent source of material for Dylan's recent tours, demonstrating its lasting appeal among fans and critics alike. The "Long Hot Summer '26" tour is scheduled to continue through various locations, with specific dates and venues being announced incrementally.
