More about: Bob Dylan
The gig has just been listed on Bandsintown
Bob Dylan seems to have just quietly announced a show at London's 200-capacity Barfly.
The singer had already announced a series of shows at the more appropriately-sized Royal Albert Hall - but a new one-off listing has appeared on official gig alert site Bandsintown, which was also posted on Dylan's Facebook page.
According to the listing, Dylan will perform at the tiny Camden venue on 18 June at 8pm - but there's no information on tickets yet. Gigwise has reached out to Bob Dylan's label for comment.
When a Twitter user reached out to the venue though, they seemed highly sceptical of the idea - tweeting, "Nobody's told us if he is."
Anyone in a position to obtain a ticket for Bob Dylan’s gig at the Barfly on June 18th and want to invite me? Worth a try…#fb

Did Bob Dylan just announce he's playing the Barfly? I think my heart just momentarily stopped beating.

Dylan released his 36th studio album, Shadows In The Night, back in February, when it hit No.1 in the UK charts. The album is made up of a number of jazz standards favoured by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Frankie Laine. But Dylan himself insisted it isn't a covers album per se.
"I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way," said Dylan. "They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.”
