Dylan To Hit Chicago In April

Last week, the first dates for Bob Dylan’s 2005 Tour were announced and they include a five-night run at the Auditorium Theatre. What’s that you say? Big deal? Dylan tours all the time? Well, yes. But it’s not every day that you see a double bill of Dylan with Merle Haggard and the Strangers. Throw in previous tour mate Amos Lee and you’ve got “The Bob Dylan Show” from April 1st through April 6th.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on February 19th. Pre-sale info will be posted on Dylan’s website (previous pre-sale dates have been about five days before they’re made available to the masses). Here’s hoping the Bobster got a few what-not-to-do tips from the folks over at U2.com.
