KC events: Beyonce and Dylan on the same night, but also BBQ, festivals, much more

Musical legends from two different eras will entertain Kansas City crowds on the same night.

While Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour plays before a full house at Arrowhead Stadium, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bob Dylan will do the same at the Midland Theater. Tickets for both concerts at 8 p.m. Oct. 1 are available only on the secondary market.

Dylan also will play at 8 p.m. Oct. 2, and tickets ($52.50-$132.50) remain for that date.
