“The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has always been about family and friends coming together for a great day of music and fun,” ” said Nelson in a statement. “With the amazing group of artists joining us, this year promises to be our most special Outlaw Tour to date. I just can’t wait to get back on the road again.”
