Bob Dylan tour extends late summer concert plans into northwest

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.

Other new stops have been penned onto the calendar for August 28-29 at McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheater in Troutdale, OR; August 31 at Allegiance Field in Missoula, MT; September 1 at Greyhound Park in Post Falls, ID; and September 3 at Yakima County Stadium in Yakima, WA.

Like several earlier dates on the tour, John Mellencamp is scheduled to appear as a special guest on each of the six new concert dates.

The first public onsales for the tour began on June 25 and 26 in a handful of markets. Remaining ticket onsales, including those for the most recently announced concerts, will open July 9 and 10.

Only a few of the upcoming onsales are being handled directly through Ticketmaster.com. A number of markets have sales handled through eTix.com and Ticketfly.com. Most ticket prices are within the $50 range, according to listings on each site.

Details for the upcoming onsales are available on Dylan’s official Web site.
