The Black Keys, Tom Jones, Los Lobos, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and Eddie Vedder will also perform in tribute to Dylan.
President/CEO of the MusiCares Foundation and The Recording Academy Neil Portnow said: "In celebrating the 25th anniversary of our MusiCares Person of the Year tribute, it is most fitting that we are honouring Bob Dylan, whose body of creative work has contributed to America's culture, as well as that of the entire world, in genuinely deep and lasting ways."
