Bob Dylan [ tickets ] will be in stellar company when he kicks off the latest edition of his Ballpark Tour, which hits minor-league baseball stadiums across the US this summer.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be joined by Willie Nelson [ tickets ] and John Mellencamp [ tickets ] on the trip, which gets underway July 2 in Sauget, IL. The lineup will mark just the second time in the last 24 years that the three performers have appeared on the same stage together, according to a press release.

Tickets for the 22-city trek begin going on sale May 2. All tickets are priced at $67.50, and children under 14 will be admitted free to the concerts when accompanied by a paying adult. More information, including on-sale dates, can be found at Dylan's website.

Dylan will be supporting a new album on the road trip. "Together Through Life," which hits stores April 28, came as something of a surprise to Dylan followers, and was announced via press release only last month.

Dylan, who produced the album under the pseudonym "Jack Frost"--the same name that he used for his two previous releases, 2006's "Modern Times" and 2001's "Love and Theft"--was backed on the set by his regular touring band, supplemented on the album by Los Lobos' David Hidalgo and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Last fall, the iconic troubadour released the eighth installment of his Bootleg Series. Titled "Tell Tale Signs," the set features previously unreleased studio recordings and alternate versions spanning a 17-year period, from 1989 to 2006, according to a press release.

Previously unreleased songs on the album include "Red River Shore," "Dreamin' of You" and "Marchin' To The City" from the "Time Out Of Mind" sessions. The disc also includes "I Can't Escape From You," "Duncan & Brady," "Miss The Mississippi" and Dylan's first release of a Robert Johnson song, "32-20 Blues."

The album is available in a standard two-disc version, as well as a deluxe, three-CD package, which includes a bonus disc containing 12 additional songs and a hardcover book of artwork from Dylan singles spanning his entire career.
