Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour rides again in 2023. And this time, it’s a dual celebration: not only of music that colors outside the lines, but of its headliner’s 90th birthday. Nelson turns 90 on April 29.
Kicking off June 23, in Somerset, Wisconsin, the Outlaw Tour runs into October, each with Nelson in the top slot and a rotating cast of artists in support. The first show features Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Trampled by Turtles, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, and Particle Kid, the band fronted by 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.
Bob Weir and Wolf Bros. join the tour for select dates in September, along with Los Lobos, Elizabeth Cook, String Cheese Incident, and Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. The tour is currently slated to wrap up Oct. 15 in Pelham, Alabama.
“I can’t wait to be on the road with the amazing group of artists joining us on this year’sOutlaw Music Festival Tour,” Nelson 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.”
Tickets for the tour, produced by Blackbird Presents and Live Nation, go on sale Friday, March 17, at 10 a.m. local time via the tour’s website.
