Bob Dylan’s back – but no filming
Bob Dylan is coming to Edinburgh in November – but he has partnered up with a company called Yondr which will ensure that nobody brings in either video cameras or mobile phones. When members of the audience arrive at the concert they will place their mobile phones into pouches which will then be locked during the gig. And if someone needs to use their phone all they have to do is go outside the venue and place their phone on an unlocking base.
