What could be more American than seeing two of the most iconic American musicians playing minor baseball stadiums this summer? Well, how about you throw in a third to make for a formidable triple play. Dating back to 2004, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson have teamed up to tour intimate stadiums across the country. This year, the duo welcome John Mellencamp for shows at 22 ballparks across the country. The family-friendly shows will start at 5:30 PM and ticket holders may bring a child under 14 in for free.
If this great triple bill isn’t hitting a ballpark near you, than maybe you’ll be able to hit one of these recently announced tours…
- Ratdog will be joined by moe. and Jackie Greene this summer
- AA Bondy will spend the month of June on the road
- Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley lines up dates into December
- Les Claypool has a mix of festivals and club appearances
- Snoop, Slightly Stoopid & Stephen Marley are Blazed & Confused
- Punk rockers Green Day reveal the dates for the NA tour
Finally, indie-rockers Spoon will hold court at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, TX for three nights of shows for what is being billed as SPOONX3. The mini-festival will feature a different triple bill each night anchored by a set from Britt Daniels & Co. Joining Spoon over the course of the run will be …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Black Joe Lews & The Honey Bears, Low, Dale Watson, Atlas Sound and The Strange Boys. The band is currently offering up special three-day passes prior to individual shows going on-sale.
