Bob Dylan Will Play the First Show Back at the Cap

Bob Dylan will officially reopen Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre . The legendary singer/songwriter will play the first show under the venue’s new management on September 4. With a capacity of only 1,800, this is one of the smallest shows Dylan has played in recent memory. Bobdylan.com has announced that tickets to the performance will go onsale on August 17 at 10:00am EDT. Pre-Sale tickets will be available through Dylan’s site on August 13 at 10:00am EDT.
