Bob Dylan announces new album and summer tour

He is 74 years old and as mercurial as ever.

But Bob Dylan appears to have lost none of his enthusiasm for touring, or for creating new music.

On Monday it was announced he will embark on a summer tour in support of his upcoming new album Fallen Angels, the follow-up to his 2015 album of Frank Sinatra covers Shadows in the Night. The concerts mark Dylan’s first North American shows since May 2015, Rolling Stone reported.

After performing 13 shows in Japan in April, Dylan and his Band will kick off their US tour with a pair of dates on June 4th and 5th at Woodinville, Washington’s Chateau Ste Michelle Winery. 

The 27-date tour will then loop the country before concluding on July 17th in Gilford, New Hampshire. Mavis Staples will open as the support act on all the US dates.
