Willie Nelson's 2026 Outlaw Music Festival To Feature Avett Brothers, Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Margo Price & More Gil Kaufman, 3/24/2026 Willie Nelson's 2026 Outlaw Music Festival promises an exciting lineup, featuring the Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, and Wilco. Kicking off July 3, the tour will highlight exceptional talent and celebrate Nelson's enduring legacy in music. Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival is heading into its second decade in style with Tuesday morning's (March 24) announcement of the 2026 lineup, topped by Nelson and his family band, along with the Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow and Wilco.
In addition, the 12-date tour slated to kick off on July 3 at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, will also feature appearances from Nelson's son, Lukas Nelson and Sierra Hull, as well as Stephen Wilson Jr., Margo Price, Lily Meola, Rodney Crowell, Robert Randolph and Don Was with the Pan-Detroit Ensemble.
The Live Nation-produced tour that celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, will once again feature Nelson, 92, topping the bill, though this year's roster of shows has been pared down, with a release saying for that reason, "each night carries added significance, a rare chance to experience a living legend alongside a powerhouse lineup of iconic voices and next-generation trailblazers."
A Citi presale is open now through 10 p.m. local time on Thursday (March 26) via the Citi Entertainment program (details here), followed by a general onsale beginning at 10 a.m. local time on Friday (March 27) here. This year's tour will also wrap-in Nelson's annual Fourth of July Picnic, which will feature guests Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell.
"Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do. We don't get to do as many shows as we used to, so every night out there means a little more," said Nelson in a statement. "I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and making it a special time."
