Bob Dylan is preparing for his usual summer tour across the United States. The iconic singer-songwriter will be back on the road starting next month with a 23-city national routing.

The coast-to-coast tour kicks off with a July 14 concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, CA, and continues through August 20, when Dylan will perform at the Waterfront Pavilion in downtown Bangor, ME.

Bob Dylan and His Band are off the road at the moment, but the legendary musician and his backing band are busy rolling out more concert plans for fall. A total of 19 concerts are now on Dylan's late-year calendar, which opens October 6 at NSU's University Center Arena in Davie, FL.

In keeping with the other dates on this leg of Dylan's tour, the shows are mostly slated for U.S. college and university venues. The new seven-date addendum picks up October 24 at the McLeod Center at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA, and continues through a November 2 performance at the EJ Thomas Performing Arts Hall at the University of Akron in Akron, OH.

Folk-rock legend Bob Dylan, no stranger to experimenting with how tickets are sold to his shows, held a concert at The Warfield Theatre in San Francisco last night, August 25, where fans paid an admission fee at the door, in cash, eschewing advanced ticket sales in an attempt to thwart secondary market ticket sales.

The show in the 2,250-capacity theater did not sell out, according to Joan Rosenberg, director of marketing for The Warfield, but patrons did not complain about spending hours in line before the concert, which cost a flat fee of $60 per person.

Bob Dylan has extended the road plans for his late summer tour of the United States. The legendary troubadour added a week of shows to the previously announced itinerary, filling in a gap left before his September 4 appearance at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle, WA.

Where the old itinerary left off with an August 22 show at the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena in Stateline, NV, Dylan's updated routing will pick up with an August 27 gig at Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend, OR. The entire trek still opens August 4 at The Backyard in Austin, TX.

European touring plans from Whitney Houston and more are in the mix for the daily tour recap on October 12, as compiled by TicketNews.
