 ASPEN, Colo. (Top40 Charts) - Bob Dylan will perform this fall at the annual Jazz Aspen Snowmass festival. Dylan will play Sept. 1. Opening acts haven't been announced. "It's been a long time coming," said Jazz Aspen executive producer Jim Horowitz, who has been trying to bring Dylan to the festival for seven years. "It's like getting to the top of a 20,000-foot mountain for me. He's definitely an artist who's reached that living icon status." Jazz Aspen, usually held in Snowmass Village, is expected to be moved to the Buttermilk Mountain base area because of a construction project. Phil & Friends, led by former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, is scheduled to perform on opening night, Aug. 30. Willie Nelson and Nickel Creek are set to perform on closing day, Sept. 2.
