The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival began in 2016 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson developed it into an annual touring franchise, Live Nation said.
Nelson turns 90 years old in April.
"I can't wait to be on the road with the amazing group of artists joining us on this year's Outlaw Music Festival Tour," he said in a statement. "It is always a great day of music and fun with family, friends and the incredible fans, and even more special this year in celebration of my 90th birthday."
