Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will hold a single concert in Israel on June 20 at the Ramat Gan stadium, following in the footsteps of fellow performers Leonard Cohen and Elton John. Dylan is expected to perform his hit songs from a musical career that has spanned five decades.
The Israel concert will be part of the singer’s world tour that will begin in Asia two weeks earlier and will conclude in Denmark in late June. Dylan has performed on two previous occasions in Israel - in 1987 and in 1993 and toured the country on a private visit in the 1960s.
