Folk-rock great Bob Dylan [ tickets ] and country icon Merle Haggard [ tickets ] continue to expand their spring tour schedule, with a batch of Northeastern dates the latest to appear on the itinerary.

New additions to the schedule this week include multi-night stands in Boston and New York City, as well as single nights in Mashantucket, CT, and Atlantic City, NJ. Amos Lee is also on the bill on most dates.

Tickets for the new shows--as well as several previously announced stops--are set to hit the box office over the course of the next two weekends. Tickets for some other shows are already on sale; details are in the itinerary below.

Last October, Dylan--who celebrates his 64th birthday on May 24--issued "Chronicles: Volume 1," the first in a planned series of his personal histories. The memoir is among the finalists vying for the 2004 prize in the National Book Critics Circle Awards' Biography/Autobiography category. Winners will be announced in March.

Haggard--who will celebrate his 68th birthday during the tour's April 6 stop in Chicago--released his latest album, "Unforgettable," in December.

Lee, who is 27 years old, is slated to drop his self-titled debut March 1, and will follow the release with a March 3 performance on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
