Bob Dylan Ends Belfast Set With Van Morrison Deep Cut

The choice doubled as a hometown nod to Morrison at Waterfront Hall and fits Dylan’s habit of context-driven setlist surprises.

Overview

  • Dylan closed his Waterfront Hall concert with Van Morrison’s “Going Down to Bangor,” a track from the 2016 album Keep Me Singing.
  • The song is an obscure selection that Morrison has reportedly performed only about 14 times.
  • A clean audience audio circulated despite phones being prohibited at Dylan’s theater shows.
  • The performance came during the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour, which next stops in Killarney and Dublin.
  • Dylan and Morrison share a long history of covering each other’s songs, and Dylan recently signaled more shows in early spring 2026 in a post on X.
