When Judas Met John: Dylan and Lennon

Edinburgh 2026

Listed by one professional reviewer as one of 'five shows not to be missed at this year's Edinburgh Fringe', this show compares the like-minded and socially conscious lyrics of Dylan and Lennon. It addresses key questions regarding their relationship – why was Lennon in awe of Dylan only to deride him years later, and why did Dylan keep it to himself that he 'really dug the Beatles'? Irish duo Brothers Broke compare, adapt and perform a unique interpretation of songs by both artists in their own acoustic folk and blues style.

This is an archived listing from the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. When Judas Met John: Dylan and Lennon is by Brothers Broke, listed under Music in the Fringe programme. It plays at theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall, Surgeons Quarter, Nicolson Street, EH8 9DW, 7 August to 29 August.

The show runs 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 12+. Tickets are £14.
