'Can't Wait To Get Back On The Road Again', Willie Nelson Headlines Outlaw Music Festival Tour This Summer
U.S.A. (CBSDFW.COM) - Live music is back, and with it The Outlaw Music Festival Tour, once again headlined by Willie Nelson.
"The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has always been about family and friends coming together for a great day of music and fun, and with the amazing group of artists joining us, this year promises to be our most special Outlaw Tour to date. I just can't wait to get back on the road again" says Willie Nelson.
Other performers on the 14-stop tour starting this summer include: Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Gov't Mule, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Bingham, Margo Price, Yola, Kathleen Edwards, Ida Mae and more.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 27th, at 10 a.m. local time.
The inaugural festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, PA. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson developed it into one of North America's biggest annual touring franchises. Musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing music memories and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping in Live Nation amphitheaters across the country.
