Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will hold a single concert in Israel on 20 June 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 began in Asia in April, where he performed in Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore and Vietnam.

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.
