Willie Nelson, Mark Rothbaum, Keith Wortman, Blackbird Presents, and Live Nation recently announced 16 shows for the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour.
The 2023 Outlaw Tour continues the celebration of Willie Nelson’s legendary life and musical legacy. This comes just in time for a huge milestone in Nelson’s life; his 90th birthday.
The upcoming shows will be the largest-ever Outlaw Tour to date. This time around, Willie is bringing his family and friends on the road for a can’t-miss lineup of summer shows featuring artists including Willie Nelson & Family, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, The Avett Brothers, John Fogerty, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Whiskey Myers, Gov’t Mule, Marcus King, Margo Price, Trampled By Turtles, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Kathleen Edwards, Flatland Cavalry, Kurt Vile And The Violators, Brittney Spencer and Particle Kid.
The tour will kick off June 23 in Somerset, WI. Further tour dates will be coming but are TBA. For the full lineup for each date, refer to the list below.
Tickets for the festival are on sale now via OutlawMusicFestival.com. VIP packages including great seats and exclusive festival merchandise will be available.
“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,” says Nelson. “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.”
The first Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, Pa. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson have developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual tours.
Musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, ZZ Top, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crow, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing some unforgettable performances and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping in Live Nation amphitheaters across the United States.
Willie Nelson is one of the most influential artists across all genres and has made quite a mark on the history of popular music. He is a true living legend. Willie turns 90 years young, as vibrant, active, and dynamic as ever.
Nelson won two Grammy Awards earlier this year and is set to celebrate his 90th birthday with a sold-out, two-day event at the Hollywood Bowl. He also premiered the definitive five-part documentary film on his extraordinary life and career at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Additionally, the country music icon released a new album, I Don’t Know A Thing About Love, is nominated to become a part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has a new book available, and continues to perform across the country while also headlining iconic festivals including Outlaw Music Festival Tour, Farm Aid, and his annual July 4th Picnic. Even at the age of 90 Willie shows no signs of stopping.
