Still going strong at 88 years old, Willie Nelson is returning to the road with his Outlaw Music Festival Tour. The 14-date trek is taking place from late August through late October.
Featured guests include Sturgill Simpson, Margo Price, Lucinda Williams, The Avett Brothers, and Gov’t Mule. Other artists on multiple dates include Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Kathleen Edwards, and Ida Mae.
Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham, and Yola will solely play the opening date on August 22nd in Austin, Texas. Further stops are scheduled in Philadelphia, PA; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Phoenix, Arizona before the final date on October 24th in Wheatland, California.
In a statement, Nelson said, “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.”
Nelson is able to get back on the road again after receiving the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine earlier this year. In late September, he headlined the virtual 2020 Farm Aid benefit concert after holding a pair of livestreamed concerts called “Til Further Notice” and “At Home with Farm Aid” earlier in the pandemic. In February, He released his latest album, That’s Life.
