Willie Nelson and a merry brood of musicians will hit the road this summer for the Outlaw Music Festival.
The shows feature a rotating cast of artists and the Sept. 22 performance at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre will include Nelson, 88, and the “family,” as well as Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Kathleen Edwards. The event begins at 5:15 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 27 via outlawmusicfestival.com and livenation.com. A pre-sale for Citi cardmembers takes place from 10 a.m. May 25 through 10 p.m. May 26 at citientertainment.com.
Since 2016, Nelson and Blackbird Presents developed the Outlaw Music Festival into a touring caravan with artists ranging from Robert Plant to Bob Dylan to Eric Church to Sheryl Crow. This year, Lucinda Williams, Chris Stapleton and Gov’t Mule are among the other musicians participating in the run, which starts Aug. 22 in Nelson’s home state of Texas.
