Beyoncé isn’t the only iconic country artist to announce a nationwide tour today.
Willie Nelson just shared he’s heading out on his tenth ‘Outlaw Music Festival’ tour all over North America this summer as well.
At all shows, the 91-year-old country crooner will be joined by co-headliner Bob Dylan for the second consecutive summer. Last year, the long-running legends joined forces along with Robert Plant. This time around, Wilco, The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats and a host of others are slated to provide support for the lo-fi pair on select dates.
In total, five artists — Nelson, Dylan and three other special guests — are on the bill for nearly every gig (except four shows with just four performers) on the 34-show run.
“What an amazing lineup to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” Nelson said in a press release. “I can’t wait to join friends and family in bringing this celebration to the fans we love.”
Along the way, the Red Headed Stranger and co. are scheduled to make six (!) New York and New Jersey stops.
First, they hit Long Island’s Jones Beach Theater on Friday, Aug. 1. After that, they swing into Saratoga Springs’ Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Aug. 2, Buffalo’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on Friday, Aug. 8, Syracuse’s Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater on Sunday, Aug. 10, Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Friday, Sept. 12 and Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Saturday, Sept. 13.
