Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour will return in 2023. And this time it’s a double celebration: not just the music pushing the envelope, but also the headliner’s 90th birthday. Nelson turns 90 on April 29.
The Outlaw Tour, which kicks off June 23 in Somerset, Wisconsin, will initially play 16 shows, each with Nelson in first place and a rotating line-up of artists in support. The first show features
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Trampled by Turtles, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway and Particle Kid, the band around Nelson’s son Micah. Other artists on various shows include the Avett Brothers, John Fogerty, Whiskey Myers, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Kurt Vile, Kathleen Edwards, and Margo Price.
“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,” Nelson said in a statement. “It’s always a great day of music and fun with family, friends and the incredible fans, and it’s even more special this year as I celebrate my 90th birthday.”
Tickets for the tour, produced by Blackbird Presents and Live Nation, go on sale on Friday, March 17 at 10am local time via the tour website.
