Willie Nelson’s kith and kin roadshow is caravaning into select stops this summer. Entering its second decade, the Outlaw Music Festival Tour returns on July 3 to The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas. Following tradition, Nelson and family will serve as headliners, with guests like Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Margo Price, The Avett Brothers, Don Was, Robert Randolph, Sierra Hull, and others stepping in and lending their own songs to the unique experience, which takes the sensations of a music festival and packs it into a singular evening. This year’s lineup has been scaled back to 12 total engagements.

After the Outlaw Music Festival Tour’s Texas launch, the host and participants will remain in the region, taking their talents to the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin, for the official arrival of Willie’s annual Fourth of July Picnic. In addition to the night one contributors, Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Lukas Nelson, Stephen Wilson Jr., Margo Price, Lily Meola, who will remain in tow for America’s 250th birthday, additional acts and Nelson collaborators, Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell, will step in as added support. 

Following the Independence Day event, most of the night-one participants will remain on the bill and deliver a memorable night of music at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, on July 5. A significant gap in dates ensues, with the next stagings scheduled for August 18 at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, Mo., and August 19 at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee, Minn. 

The latter leg of the tour will see new arrivals to the artist lineup, including Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, The Avett Brothers, Sierra Hull, and others. On August 22, the traveling festival participants will put on a show at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich., and the following night at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Ind. On August 25, they will take the stage at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Ill., before a final slate of appearances brings the bus to New York State.

On August 28, the Outlaw Tour will pull into Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., before heading upstate to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, N.Y. The final staging of the 2026 outing will take place at Albany Med Health System at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
