Revolutionary singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan, plans to tour minor league ballparks situated in small cities.  Dylan — along with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp — will play 22 ballparks this summer, which were announced a few days ago.

Dylan will play 22 family-friendly gigs at cozy ballparks like Durham Bulls Athletic Park in North Carolina (where the movie Bull Durhamwas filmed) and Ripken Stadium in tiny Aberdeen, MD. Doors will open at 5 P.M., and the show will begin at 5:30. And it’s a great value too: Each ticketholder can bring along a child under 14 for free!
