Yep, Dylan reveals new tour dates
And the first stop along the way will be the town of Spokane with its fish trucks and mountain shadows.
It’s the first time in more than two decades that he’s performed in Spokane and he will be at First Interstate Center for the Arts on May 28. Spokane is near the Selkirk Mountains, and Rocky Mountain foothills, south of the Canadian border.
Tickets are being sold at $59.50 to $129.50 from Friday at TicketsWest.com.

Bob did co-headline a show at the Greyhound Park in Post Falls with John Mellencamp in 2010. But his last appearance solely with his band was on Oct. 5, 2001, at the Spokane Arena.
Matt Meyer, director of entertainment for Spokane Arena and First Interstate Center for the Arts, gave an insight to booking Bon for a show.
He said: “I’ve been working on getting Bob Dylan to Spokane since early 2019. Later that year, I was the only meeting the booking agent and promoter took at a conference in Chicago and, honestly, Bob was targeted to play late in 2020.
“Here we are three and a half years later with arguably two of the top, if not the actual, best songwriters of all time performing in Spokane separated by one month.”
Matt is of course talking about the Singing Tortoise Paul McCartney who has been Beatle-ing about the music world reminding people of who he used to be.
(Ed’s Note: Leigh has no time for McCartney – particularly, so he says, he mulled over Kintyre and decided it was a song about his back garden by the sea!)
Matt said: “I did that knowing there was potential of Bob landing right after Paul and adding to the storyline of the best songwriter of all time coming to Spokane.
