American singer Rickie Lee Jones will be joining Bob Dylan's Israel concert, which will be held at the Ramat Gan Stadium on June 20.

Ynet has learned from sources in the show's production that Dylan was the one asked to host the veteran singer in his Israel gig, and that other famous artist may join the big night too.

Jones latest performance in Israel was last year at the Red Sea Jazz Festival in Eilat. During the Ramat Gan concert, she is expected to join Dylan's band and perform some of his famous songs with him, and perhaps even some of her own.

Many tickets are still available for the concert as sales continue.

While Israelis prepare for the greatest performance this summer, the world will mark Dylan's 70th birthday this Tuesday, with major media outlets already launching special projects in honor of the event.
