Willie Nelson Announces Lineup for 2023 Outlaw Music Festival
At 89 years old, Willie Nelson is showing few signs of retiring from what he loves. The Texas native will be on the road again this summer, headlining his 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour.
The trek — also curated by Nelson — will feature performances from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, the Avett Brothers, John Fogerty, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Whiskey Myers, Gov't Mule and Marcus King.
Others on the docket are Trampled by Turtles, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Kathleen Edwards, Flatland Cavalry, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Brittney Spencer and Particle Kid.
Each of the 16 dates will feature a different lineup with five acts. As always, members of Nelson's family will join the "Seven Spanish Angels" singer as headliners on each stop.
It has been a big year for Nelson, who won two Grammys in February. He took home trophies for Best Country Solo Performance for his cover of Billy Joe Shaver's "Live Forever" and Best Country Album for his 2022 album, A Beautiful Time — his 72nd studio album.
Nelson is also nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year.
