NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Dead and Bob Dylan will co-headline the second leg of the former's Summer Getaway Tour, set to kick off July 29 in a yet-to-be-announced location. Dead lyricist Robert Hunter will also accompany the band on both legs of the trek.

The tour's second leg will consist of 10 dates, ending Aug. 10. Currently six destinations are confirmed: Tampa, Fla. (July 30), Aug. 2 (Joliet, Ill.), Somerset, Wis. (Aug. 3), Indianapolis (Aug. 5), Columbus, Ohio (Aug. 6), and Darien Center, N.Y. (Aug. 8). Tickets for these and the yet-to-be-confirmed dates go on sale May 3.
The Dead and Dylan last hit the road together in 1987 on a co-headlining stadium tour. The event spawned the critically lambasted 1989 Columbia live album "Dylan & the Dead," which featured collaborative versions of such Dylan classics as "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "All Along the Watchtower," as well as more obscure songs such as "Joey." That tour's stops in Oakland and Anaheim, Calif., comprise the recently issued the Dead's "View From the Vault IV CD and DVD sets (Grateful Dead Records/Monterey Video).
Steve Winwood (news) and Willie Nelson will accompany the Dead on the Summer Getaway tour's first leg, which kicks off June 15 at the second annual Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn. First leg tickets are already on sale via Dead.net http://www.dead.net and Ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.com
Dylan, Nelson, and Winwood are all expected to sit in with the Dead during their respective dates on the tour, in addition to performing with their own bands. The July 29 stop in Vernon Downs, N.Y., will also feature second-generation jam band moe.
The Dead will also appear at Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic outside of Austin, Texas. Also on the bill for the two-day (July 4-5) event will be Toby Keith, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Pat Green, and Billy Bob Thornton.
The Dead is promising to perform old favorites for fans, as well as new material. The group is comprised of surviving original members of the Grateful Dead -- drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, and guitarist/vocalist Bob Weir -- as well as keyboardists Jeff Chimenti and Rob Barraco, and lead guitarist Jimmy Herring. Bringing a female voice back into the veteran group on the tour will be vocalist Joan Osborne.
