Folk music icon Bob Dylan will perform at this year's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.
Buffalo Chip Campground owner Rod Woodruff says Dylan is scheduled to perform on Aug. 10.
It will be the first concert at Sturgis for the 69-year-old Dylan. Woodruff says Dylan has been a huge influence on modern music and that it's an honor to have him on stage at Sturgis.
Dylan is a Minnesota native who got his start in Twin Cities coffeehouses. He later moved to New York and became part of the burgeoning folk scene. After a New York Times music critic praised his act, Columbia Records signed him to a recording contract.
Other acts scheduled at the 70th annual Sturgis rally include Ozzy Osbourne, Kid Rock, Motley Crue, Buckcherry and ZZ Top.
