Wait! Don’t pass out! It really is Bob Dylan flashing a rare smile while performing with The Dead at Six Flags Darien Lake in New York.

The whole minor league baseball stadium thing for Dylan started in 2004, and quickly became a summer tradition. This summer marks only the second time all three artists have shared the concert stage. What’s more, the free admission policy for children accompanied by adults enables young and old to experience three cornerstones of America’s musical heritage.

The first date on the schedule is July 2 in Sauget, Ill., at the GCS Ballpark. From there it’s South Bend, Ind., on July 4 at Coveleski Stadium followed by Louisville, Ky., on July 8 at Slugger Field.

Other towns on the routing include Norfolk, Va., Corpus Christi, TX, Las Vegas, Fresno, Calif., and Syracuse, NY.

Bobdylan.com has the presale for all ballpark shows beginning Monday, April 27. What’s more, if you buy your tickets from the presale, you’ll be allowed into the park 30 minutes before everybody else.
