Bob Dylan Records New Material at White Lake Studios
Renowned musician Bob Dylan spent two days recording at White Lake Studios in Colonie, New York, on August 5 and 6, 2025. The sessions, which took place during a short break in Dylan's 2025 Outlaw Music Festival Tour, saw him working with members of his touring band [2][3][4].
The exact nature of what Dylan was recording remains confidential, and no official statement has confirmed whether it is new original material, covers, or something else [1][2][3][4]. David Bourgeois, the CEO of White Lake Studios, sent out a press release about the recording sessions but did not provide any additional information about the nature of the recordings [1].
Speculation exists that Dylan might be working on new material since his last studio album of original songs was Rough & Rowdy Ways in 2020, and he released Shadow Kingdom in 2023, a concert film soundtrack [2][3][5]. The recordings could potentially be for a forthcoming album, but this remains unconfirmed and is a subject of anticipation among fans [3][5].
Dylan's upcoming European tour dates are in November 2022. He is scheduled to play dates in Brighton, Swansea (three dates), Coventry, Leeds, Glasgow, and Belfast [6]. The Rough And Rowdy Ways tour, which has been ongoing since November 2021, has been circling the globe [7].
In a statement, David Bourgeois expressed satisfaction about Bob Dylan using White Lake Studios, describing the visit as a special event for the facility [1]. The press release did not contain any ticket details for Bob Dylan's European tour dates [8].
It is not known what Bob Dylan was recording, but fans are eagerly awaiting more information about the project. The Rough And Rowdy Ways tour dates in Europe can be found on the Bob Dylan website [9]. The specific dates for Bob Dylan's European tour have not been specified in the provided paragraph. It is also possible that Dylan was recording covers.
