Bob Dylan Adds Third Sydney And Melbourne Shows

Released on August 30, 1965, Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited marked a seismic shift in both his career and the landscape of popular music. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the album stands as a bold declaration of artistic freedom, blending folk, blues, and rock into a sound that was as electrifying as it was poetic.

August 30 has long been a milestone date in music history, bringing with it landmark releases and unforgettable moments. Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited arrived on this day, reshaping rock songwriting with “Like a Rolling Stone,” while Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, and Judas Priest also released career-defining albums. The first Isle of Wight Festival in 1968 cemented itself as a cornerstone of British rock culture, and decades later Kanye West’s Late Registration and Lana Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell! set new creative benchmarks. From classic rock to modern icons, August 30 showcases music’s constant evolution across generations.
