The Met Hosting Bob Dylan For First Concert After Renovations

PHILADELPHIA – The Met, Philadelphia's newly-renovated and historic performance venue, is hosting its first concert Monday and legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan is opening the venue.

Located at 858 N. Broad St., The Met — formerly the Philadelphia Metropolitan Opera House — was built in 1908 by Oscar Hammerstein.

The Oscar-, Grammy, Golden Globe-, and Nobel Prize-winning Dylan is the first artist to take the stage at The Met.

The 110-year-old venue underwent about $56 million in restoration work through a partnership with Live Nation, Eric Blumenfeld and Holy Ghost Headquarters.

While Dylan's show is sold out, The Met has a full schedule of musical concerts, stand up comedy acts, kids' shows, and more lined up.

Upcoming acts include Weezer, John Oliver, Meek Mill, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Gary Clark Jr., and more.
