"The Bob Dylan Show was a huge Arts Festival success at McCoy in August of 2006 as was the Counting Crows concert last August at McCoy and we look forward to offering fans another enjoyable concert event here at McCoy this July 12."
Admission tickets are priced at $39 apiece and will allow fans the opportunity to enjoy the concert from their best vantage point at McCoy whether it be from the plush playing field or the seating bowl. The event will be held rain or shine and there is no PawSox game on the night of the show.
