On the road again…it was announced yesterday that Willie Nelson‘s Outlaw Music Festival was coming back again this year. With only 12 shows on the schedule, the festival has been pared down some compared to previous years, but the lineup hasn’t. Along with Willie Nelson & Family, the tour will feature (depending on the date) 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 will feature special guests Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell. Presales start tomorrow ahead of the general sale on Friday at 10am local time. Check out the dates and performers below; visit Willie’s website for complete information.
