May 2, 2017 Tim Merricks 0

Bob Dylan, London Palladium, London 28th April 2017

April 30, 2017 Jonathan Aird 3
This was the first of three nights at The London Palladium, and this pretty theatre is by far the smallest venue I’ve ever seen Dylan in with just a 2,286 capacity: Wembley Arena or The Dome […]
