B.B. King announces new tour dates, coming back to Durham

85-year-old blues legend B.B. King was the first artist to play the Durham Performing Arts Center when it opened in 2008, and now he's set to return in June.

He'll play the venue on Friday, June 3. Tickets will start at $38 and will go on sale on Friday, February 25 at 10 a.m. via the venue box office and Ticketmaster.
