Willie Nelson Launching Outlaw Music Festival Tour With Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow
Willie Nelson is launching a summer tour that’s as genre-bending as the country icon’s never ending music catalog.
The Outlaw Music Festival Tour hits the road in July with Nelson sharing the bill with a variety of acts including Bob Dylan, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow, Margo Price, the Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and more. Additional shows and artists for the tour have yet to be announced. So far six shows have been announced, all in July.
This tour stems from the success of September’s one-day Outlaw Music Festival in Scranton, Pa. For this tour, Nelson will be making his first stop in New Orleans, followed by Dallas, Rogers, Ark., Detroit, Milwaukee and Syracuse, N.Y.
Country Singers Who've Admitted to Smoking Marijuana
Nelson releases his new album God’s Problem Child on April 28, the day before his 84th birthday. The Country Hall of Famer held a special listening session at Sirius XM’s Music City Theatre in early April, revealing new tracks such as “Still Not Dead,” “It Gets Easier” and “He Won’t Ever Be Gone.”
Tickets for the Outlaw Music Festival Tour went on sale April 21.
