Wilco, Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow, are among the big names headlining the tour.
Retirement is miles from Willie Nelson’s mind, as he brings back his iconic Outlaw Music Festival for 2026 after last year’s electric 10th anniversary.
The tour was hailed as “undoubtedly the most exciting and electric multi-artist festival” by The Rolling Stone, this year’s line up promising to live up to the hype.
Kicking off July 3 in Irving, Texas, the tour features Willie Nelson & Family, The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Lukas Nelson, Stephen Wilson Jr., Margo Price, Sierra Hull, Robert Randolph, Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, and Lily Meola.
The tour also includes Willie’s annual Fourth of July Picnic, which has been running since 1973, and features the talents of Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell this year.
Though the tour is a tad smaller than previous years, key North American cities such as Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan will get to experience the festival, promised to be a “true cultural phenomenon.”
“Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do. We don’t get to do as many shows as we used to, so every night out there means a little more. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and making it a special time,” said Willie Nelson.
Outlaw Music Festival Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 27, at 10 AM local time and are available here.
