Willie Nelson has shared the lineup for the 2021 Outlaw Music Festival tour presented by Nelson and Blackbird. The festival, which will feature a shifting lineup from the announced selection of artists, will kick off in Austin, Texas this August and run through October where it will wrap up at Wheatland, California’s Toyota Amphitheater.
The fourteen-date tour will feature appearances from Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Gov’t Mule, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Bingham, Margo Price, Yola, Kathleen Edwards, and Ida Mae.
Nelson and his family will lead the festival, playing songs from his dozens of albums including his two most recent projects That’s Life and First Rose of Spring.
“The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has always been about family and friends coming together for a great day of music and fun, and with the amazing group of artists joining us, this year promises to be our most special Outlaw Tour to date,” Nelson said in a statement.
