Dylan will travel, as he always does, in a huge silver customized Prevost bus, worth around £1.5million. The band will stay in another bus, and he will most likely ignore them for all but the hours which they spend on stage.
Suspicious and obsessed with security and privacy, Dylan seems to be addicted to life on the road. It's hard to fathom why, as he never shows he has taken an iota of pleasure from his adoring audience - he does not greet them, speak between numbers or even say goodbye.
And while his set list includes many of his most famous songs, he seems to take a perverse pleasure in playing them so they are almost unrecognizable - one recent critic said he was almost comically bad.
For all that, Dylan seems to be addicted to the experience of working his way across the world. There have been more than 2,000 concerts since he started touring in 1988.
Some say Dylan lives like a gypsy because it allows him to escape from any personal commitments - and his personal life is amazingly complicated.
