Willie Nelson Returns With Bob Dylan And More For Annual Outlaw Festival Dates

At 90, Willie Nelson’s still got what it takes to hold his own in front of crowds of adoring fans, and if you think a couple of dates are the most you could do at any age, hold your horses, because he’s booked for 25.

However, he won’t be doing it on his own because a lot of country music pals are going to be joining him. Now who’s ready for some “Outlaw” country?

Willie Nelson’s – Outlaw Festival Announces Special Guests Across Select Dates

Willie Nelson & Family’s annual Outlaw Music Festival Tour is returning this summer with 25 dates across North America.

Willie Nelson will be joined “On the Road Again” by some special friends; his Family band, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Allison Krause, and John Mellencamp will be headlining, while country star Brittney Spencer, soul singer Celisse and five-piece Memphis band Southern Avenue, as well as Bluegrass artist Billy Strings will be coming on stage to perform select dates.

This year’s festival will kick off in Alpharetta, Georgia, on June 21, and it will continue to Sept. 17 where it will conclude in Buffalo, New York.

The Grammy winner and his lineup will mostly be performing at amphitheatres as they make their way across North America.

“This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists. I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said in a statement.

In the past, such stars as Tyler Childers, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young and more have joined the show since it was first launched in 2016.

Dylan, 82, will be pretty much joining Nelson onstage for much of the dates. The musician last joined Nelson on several dates of his 2017 tour. On top of this, they’ll both be embarking on their solo headlining tours this Spring.

“I get a lot of fun out of playing for an audience,” he recently told PEOPLE of his need to perform during his milestone 90th birthday. “There’s a great energy exchange there. It’s what keeps me going.”

You can buy tickets to the show, or even see if they’ll be dropping near your hometown on http://OutlawMusicFestival.com this coming Friday.
