Bob Dylan Announces ‘Americanarama’ Tour with Wilco and My Morning Jacket
Bob Dylan has been a semi-permanent fixture on the road for so long that he really has to do something special to remind us that he's still on tour -- and that's exactly what he's done with his just-announced 'Americanarama Festival of Music.'
A name like that promises ridiculous amounts of music, and the lineup doesn't disappoint: Dylan will be heading out with Wilco and My Morning Jacket for an extensive series of dates that will keep them on the road from late June through early August. The Bard made the official announcement on his website, exhorting fans to "Meet me there – Beat me there!," but news of the tour had already been teased by MMJ frontman Jim James during a recent interview.
As if Dylan, Wilco, and My Morning Jacket weren't already enough to get rock-loving butts in seats this summer, the Americanarama tour will also boast some fairly remarkable support acts: Richard Thompson will be joining the bill for select dates, along with Ryan Bingham. Check out the complete list of shows below, and allot your concert budget accordingly.
