Bob Dylan, Tim McGraw, Nickelback, Stone Temple Pilots and the surviving members of the Doors will be among the acts participating in the 10-city Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour.
According to Harley-Davidson, every stop on the tour will feature at least a 12 musical acts over three days. In addition, Harleys owned by famous people--including Elvis Presley and Jon Bon Jovi--will be on display at each tour stop, and multimedia exhibits detailing the history of Harley-Davidson will be on display.
Motorcycle drill teams and stunt riders will perform daily, and each concert site will be outfitted with a 2,000-seat theater showcasing Harley-Davidson’s portrayal in the movies over the years.
The tour, as well as the company’s other 100th anniversary events, will raise funds to help find a cure for muscular dystrophy and aid research and program services for children and adults with neuromuscular diseases.
At least two of the three surviving members of the Doors are scheduled to perform at the tour’s Sept. 6 stop in the Los Angeles area. Ray Manzarek and Robby Kreiger are confirmed, but John Densmore’s participation is tentative “due to a personal consideration,” according to event publicists.
