Bob Dylan Comes to the Paramount for Three Nights in October

Plus, more local show announcements for Maroon 5, Usher, and Odesza.

Bob Dylan rambles into town in October.

Here’s a good way to tell you’ve made it: when your name becomes an adjective. There have been enough singer-songwriters who’ve been dubbed “dylanesque” over the years to populate a small island nation (though the male-to-female ratio would be troubling). But there’s no need to delve into the world of dylanesque artists when you can have the real thing. In October, Bob Dylan heads to Seattle for three nights of shows at the Paramount Theatre (Oct 17–19).

Bob Dylan
Oct 17–19, Paramount Theatre, $46–$330

Tickets for Bob Dylan at the Paramount go on sale this Friday, September 5 at 10am via stgpresents.org or by phone at 877-784-4849. Tickets range from $46–$125 with special ticket packages that include merchandise available for $180–$330.

Tickets for Maroon 5 at the Tacoma Dome go on sale Saturday, September 13 at 10am via ticketmaster.com.

Usher
