After much speculation as to which artist would help reopen the doors of the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, it has been confirmed that Bob Dylan will be doing the honors. Though the theatre is quite smaller than the venues Dylan typically plays, the icon has used the space for tour rehearsals and practices in years past.
Bobdylan.com announced that tickets to this special performance will go on sale August 17 at 10:00am EDT, with pre-sale tickets available through Dylan’s site on August 13 at 10:00am EDT.
The upcoming show schedule for the Capitol Theatre boasts some amazing talent, and music from all over the spectrum. Upcoming acts include: Bob Weir/The Roots (A Benefit for HeadCount), Buddy Guy & Johnny Lang, Big Gigantic, Dirty Projectors, Ben Folds Five, A Warren Haynes Weekend, Strangefolk, My Morning Jacket, and many more.
