This place's about to blow-oh-oh-oh in the wind.

Kesha will return to the stage as part of Dylan Fest, the annual concert in Nashville celebrating Bob Dylan's birthday. 

Kacey Musgraves, Emmylou Harris and Kurt Vile are just a few of the other acts who will be playing. The event will take place May 23 and May 24 -- the day Dylan turns 75 -- at at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The festival will also celebrate the 50 year anniversary of Blonde on Blonde.

This might seem like a strange pairing, but there's precedent: Kesha recorded a haunting cover of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" in 2011. 

Tickets for Dylan Fest go on sale this Friday at for both Monday and Tuesday. The event will benefit Thistle Farms, a Nashville charity that supports women who have survived addiction, trafficking and prostitution.
