HARRISBURG —
Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s upcoming summer tour will roll into Johnstown.
The raw, raspy “Voice of a Generation” whose career has spanned six decades, will make an Aug. 29 stop at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena, Dylan’s official website and Ticketmaster are reporting.
Tickets are expected to go on sale this weekend. They are listed on Ticketmaster.com ranging from $47 to $78.
Dylan’s Johnstown visit comes as the folk rock icon is reportedly scheduled to release his 35th album in September.
His self-titled first album, meanwhile, which contained “Song to Woody” and a collection of generations-old folk and blues tracks such as “Highway 51,” “House of the Rising Sun” and “Man of Constant Sorrow” turned 50 this spring. In between, he penned songs like “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” “Like a Rolling Stone,” and “Mr. Tamborine Man,” and albums such as Blood on the Tracks and Bringin’ it all Back Home.
The stop is apparently part of a 14-city North American tour that begins Aug. 10.
Johnstown is listed as Dylan’s only Pennsylvania visit.
