MMJ to Tour with Dylan this summer

[millerjustin]

It's fair to say that the quiet year we thought was coming will not be quiet at all.....

My guess is 6-10 amphitheaters July-August and i hope they hit Saratoga to make it easy for me....

And then shit will get insane for year-end

I think my head would explode if I had the chance to see all 3 at 1 show. My head almost exploded when I first heard the Wilco rumor. I saw Dylan a couple summers ago at Montage Mtn and thought him and his band sounded great. His band was tight as shit. I look forward to seeing him again.

Didn't I read somewhere that a 4th band is supposed to be added to the mix? I know Dawes is opening for Dylan so maybe them? Either way this is the best news I've heard all week.

I sure hope the band gets close to a full show, I don't feel like paying $120 for an hour long MMJ set of just Wordless Chorus, Victory Dance, Gideon, First Light, Circuital, Touch Me Pt. 2 and One Big Holiday

[jonmayo15]

I'm hoping they do it semi-festival style, where each band gets a 2-hour set. I'm also hoping the 4th band is Dawes, as I've yet to see them and I like some of their tunes, but there are plenty of great young Americana bands that could fit the bill.

Wilco is a definite from what I'm hearing, haven't heard anything about a 4th band but who knows

I'm with you on this. I'd go, but if it ends up being an hour long set like you described, I seriously doubt I'd do more than one show.

Hearing Cincinnati July 6

OMG, I just heard that the fourth band is Band of Horses!











Just kidding.

Hearing Cincinnati July 6

Where? That's super doable for me. 

Anyone really know if we are looking at a longer all day show? Or something that will result in super shortened sets? Or when we might hear the announcement with more info?

[ericm]

This seems like speculation to me, and nothing definite here, but according to this they might rotate closing the shows among the bands.

Can we just make a rule that if you have info to stop being so coy about it and just come out with it?

Agree. These aren't nuclear codes, it's a fucking rock tour.

Seriously. Being in the know doesn't make anyone think anyone is cooler

Is Dylan closing then, or are the speculating that Wilco/MMJ switch off?  It doesn't matter to me who closes if each band gets to play a semi-lengthy set.

The link appears to be broke now, but it speculated that the three  would possibly rotate closing. 

[bartel]

rotating would be cool... wilco and MMJ are my 1 fav bands so either way I would be one happy chappy.... praying for a philly area show!! I would even do camden for this one!

There was a typo in the original link.

[EverythingChanges]

If the rotation thing is true, I hope they announce who will close each date.  As much respect as I have for Dylan, MMJ and Wilco are in their prime and will close the show on a much higher note.

there's this thing called an embargo.

breaking said embargo can result in people losing their jobs.

[EverythingChanges]

Whats the and more mean? Also, if doors open at 4 then does the show start around 4:30, 5? That would give each band roughly 2 hours of play time if they went to midnight.
