Bob Dylan Announces Extensive Fall Arena Tour with Mark Knopfler, First time headlining arenas since 2006 ...
Bob Dylan has announced a North American arena tour with special
guest (and former Dire Straits frontman) Mark Knopfler. The trek kicks
off on October 5th in Winnipeg, Manitoba and runs through November 11th
in Brooklyn, New York.
The pair – who worked together on 1979's Slow Train Coming and 1983's Infidels
– toured Europe together last year. Knopfler frequently sat in with
Dylan's band during those dates, and on the last show they sang a duet
on "Forever Young."
The tour is in support of Dylan's new album Tempest,
which hits stores on September 11th. Dylan is currently on tour in
Europe, and he heads to North America for a month of dates (sans
Knopfler) on August 10th.
This is Dylan's first time headlining arenas in America since 2006.
He's toured every year since then, but those shows largely focused on
smaller venues.
