The tour begins August 6 at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, N.Y., the home of the baseball Hall of Fame, and will hit 22 ballparks over the next month.

Although both artists have been performing and recording for decades, this summer’s outing marks the first time Dylan and Nelson have toured together.

Texas western swing revivalists Hot Club Of Cowtown will open all shows.

According to promoter Jerry Mickelson of Jam Productions, Dylan and minor league ballparks are a natural combination.

“Bob Dylan has always brought his music to people wherever they are,” he said. “Having produced several of Bob Dylan’s concerts in these types of venues over the years, we found that the special atmosphere of a minor league ballpark adds a unique element to his already great shows.

“A complete tour of these ballparks will have fans, young and old, experiencing a great evening of music.”
