Dylan, Willie & Mellencamp summer tour 2009

[kiramdear]

This just in:

Bob Dylan has just announced an ambitious line-up for this year's summer concert tour. Along with fellow troubadour Willie Nelson, this summer The Bob Dylan Show will also feature John Mellencamp, marking just the second time in the past 24 years that these three performers have shared the concert stage.

Since first embarking on a tour of minor league baseball parks in 2004, over a half-million fans have come together to spend a night under the stars. With free admittance for children*, these tours draw a multi-generational fan base rarely seen on the concert circuit, causing one reporter to describe it as, "more like a backyard party than a rock concert." The Boston Globe ranked the tour amongst "the most relaxed, enjoyable shows of the year. "You Can't Beat Fun At The Old Ballpark," came a headline from the Chicago Sun Times.

Showtime is 5:30pm and gates open at 5:00. Gates will open at 4:30 for holders of bobdylan.com pre-sale tickets.

Wow, cool. Interesting schedule but no concerts in Socal. There are five single-A ball clubs located here, too. Maybe they will add a few shows. Driving to Fresno and Stockton would require a commitment. Thanks for sharing the 411. Best regards.....Goofyfoot.

They're playing closer to me than to you, but I don't know if I'll be able to go. Tickets are only 65 cheesburgers, makes it worth the commute.
