Willie Nelson is once again hitting the road this summer for his multi-city Outlaw Music Festival. It runs through August with a couple of dates in July (including his annual July 4 Picnic, which happens in Austin this year), and he’ll be joined by a rotating lineup that includes Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, The Avett Brothers, Margo Price, Lukas Nelson, and more varying by show. See all dates below.
“Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do,” Willie says. “We don’t get to do as many shows as we used to, so every night out there means a little more. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and making it a special time.”
The tour includes Long Island, NY’s Jones Beach on August 28 and Bethel, NY’s Beth Woods Center for the Arts on August 29, both with The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Stephen Wilson Jr., Robert Randolph, and Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble. Tickets for those and all dates go on sale Friday, March 27 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting today (3/24) at 10 AM local.
Willie also recently announced his 156th album, Dream Chaser, and he makes a guest appearance on Kacey Musgraves’ new album.
