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."
