The soon-to-be 93-year-old Willie Nelson will headline his annual Outlaw Music Festival Tour, which will come to three Texas city’s in July. Although the red-headed stranger often covers Bob Will’s “Home in San Antone,” he is skipping the Alamo City entirely.

The star-laden tour will travel to 12 cities in July and August, including the Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnic in Austin on July 4 and stops in Houston suburb The Woodlands on July 5 and Irving on Friday, July 3.

Nelson will be joined by a variety of big names over the course of the tour. Irving and The Woodlands will see Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Stephen Wilson, Jr., Margo Price, and Lily Meola.

Nelson will be making fewer appearances on the road this year, giving each night of this tour added significance as a rare chance to experience a living legend alongside the powerhouse lineup.

“Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do,” said Nelson in a statement. “We don’t get to do as many shows as we used to, so every night out there means a little more. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and making it a special time.”

The iconic singer continues to release music at a prodigious pace. After releasing two new albums in 2025, he will put out his 104th album, Dream Chaser, at the end of May.

Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 27, at 10 am at OutlawMusicFestival.com and ticketmaster.com.

Citi card members will have early access to presale tickets, available now through Thursday, March 26 until 10 pm via the Citi Entertainment program.
