Outlaw Music Festival 2026 tour announced; tickets now on sale
The Outlaw Music Festival has announced its 2026 tour schedule, with tickets going on sale to the general public on March 27.
Now entering its second decade, the festival returns with a limited run of dates beginning July 3 in Irving, Texas. The tour once again will be headlined by country music icon Willie Nelson, who will perform with his band, Willie Nelson & Family.
The 2026 lineup features a mix of established artists and emerging acts, including The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Lukas Nelson, Margo Price, and Sierra Hull, among others.
The tour will also include Nelson’s annual Fourth of July Picnic, with special guests Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell.
“Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do,” Nelson said 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.”
The Outlaw Music Festival first launched in 2016 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and has since grown into one of North America’s largest touring music festivals. Known for its eclectic lineups and community atmosphere, the festival has previously featured artists such as Chris Stapleton, Neil Young, and Bonnie Raitt.
VIP packages will be available for the 2026 tour, offering premium seating and exclusive merchandise. Click here to purchase tickets.
