In a breathtaking announcement that has sent ripples through the music world, the legendary Willie Nelson, at the extraordinary age of 91, has unveiled an expansion of his famed Outlaw Music Festival Tour. This summer promises electrifying performances as the iconic troubadour prepares to grace two newly designated venues. Notably, the tour will make its way to the Lucky Star Amphitheater in El Reno, Oklahoma, on July 1, 2025. This momentous occasion will feature the incomparable Bob Dylan alongside the sensational talents of The Mavericks and Tami Neilson—marking the festival’s inaugural concert at this auspicious location.
But that’s not all; another exhilarating date has been earmarked for September 18, 2025, as Nelson returns to Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana. After a six-year hiatus, the festival reestablishes its foothold in this beloved venue, promising a night filled with resonant performances from luminaries such as Dylan, the multi-talented Sheryl Crow, the poignant Waxahatchee, and the enchanting Madeline Edwards.
The allure of the Outlaw Music Festival lies in its vibrant, ever-evolving lineup. The extravaganza kicks off on May 13, 2025, at Phoenix’s Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, featuring the titanic talents of Bob Dylan, Billy Strings, Sierra Hull, and Lily Meola. Alongside these artists, the tour will also showcase revered acts like Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Wilco, and Lucinda Williams, creating a diverse tapestry of sound that promises to enthrall audiences across the nation.
In what marks its 10th anniversary, this beloved summer tradition has firmly cemented its status as a staple of the festival circuit. Additionally, Willie Nelson will helm his cherished Fourth of July Picnic at Germania Insurance Arena in Austin, Texas, where he and his family band will take the stage alongside legends such as Dylan, The Avett Brothers, The Mavericks, and Tami Neilson.
Beyond the tour and the Independence Day festivities, Nelson’s summer is further enlivened by the annual Luck Reunion. This vibrant gathering will feature performances from the likes of Steve Earle, Taj Mahal, Charley Crockett, Lukas Nelson, July Baker, and an array of other astonishing talents.
