More dates in the Southeast follow before the tour finds it way up to New England with shows in Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Dylan and Nelson will play at the AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tenn., on July 1. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, this will be that stadium’s first ever on-field concert. July will be spent playing show in the middle-South and plain states, with the tour wrapping up on July 12 in Saint Paul at Midway Stadium.

The ballpark tour will be supported by Texas band, The Greencards, who were recently named Best New Band at the Austin Music Awards.
