On the Road Yet Again: Willie Nelson Announces 2025 Outlaw Music Festival Tour Dates, Featuring Bob Dylan, Sierra Hull, Billy Strings, & More

Willie Nelson will celebrate his 92nd birthday on April 29, but the country legend’s advancing age apparently won’t keep him off the road in 2025. Nelson is set to headline the 10th anniversary edition of Outlaw Music Festival Tour with his Family band, and, as with the 2024 trek, Bob Dylan also will be performing at every stop.
