Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan returns to Wolf Trap for a two-night stand on July 24 and 25, 2026, bringing with him two renowned opening acts: Americana singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams with her band, and Texas blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughan with his Tilt-A-Whirl Band. The legendary troubadour—whose career spans more than six decades since his 1962 debut—will draw from his vast catalog, with songs like “Highway 61 Revisited,” “All Along the Watchtower,” and “Under the Red Sky” expected. Lucinda Williams, hailed as an “Americana icon,” will feature material from her 2026 album *World’s Gone Wrong*, while Jimmie Vaughan, a former member of The Fabulous Thunderbirds and brother of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, brings his long-running Tilt-A-Whirl Band.
