Bob Dylan Reveals Dates For His ‘Never Ending Tour’
Legendary musician Bob Dylan has announced that he will embark on an extensive tour across North America, this fall.
Dylan’s new 25-date trek kicks off on June 4th at the Les Schwab Amphitheatre in Bend, Oregon. From there, it’s heading to San Diego, Los Angeles, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, and Nashville, among other US cities. This leg of the tour wraps up on July 12th in Bethel Woods, New York. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is known as the original location of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair.
He will have two opening acts – Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats as well as the Hot Club of Cowtown. This is not the first time that the latter will hit the road with the 78-year-old musician. The Western swing trio Hot Club of Cowtown acted as a support for Dylan and Willie Nelson’s 2004 joint tour.
Before returning to the U.S, Dylan is also scheduled to play a slew of concerts across Japan in April. However, it’s still left for him to confirm these touring plans due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
While he has been on the road for a long time, the singer-songwriter hasn’t released new material since 2012’s album “Tempest”. The album features a tribute to John Lennon, “Roll On John”. And the title track is a 14-minute song about the sinking of the Titanic.
Later in 2020, Dylan is set to debut a whiskey distillery in Nashville. Heaven’s Door Spirits will transform the 160-year-old Elm Street Church into the Heaven’s Door Distillery and Center for the Arts. Its opening will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the release of Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” album.
In the meantime, tickets for his upcoming shows will go on sale on sale tomorrow, Friday, March 13th. If you don’t want to miss the latest leg of the long-running Never Ending Tour, get your tickets here.
