He then performed in Finland, his second performance there, before returning to Sweden. He then performed two concerts in Dublin, Ireland, the first time that he had performed there since 1965.

After performing concerts in Birmingham and London Dylan performed in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, Dylan performed three concerts in Spain, four in Italy, a single concert in Turkey and two concerts in Greece.
