Willie Nelson is hitting the road again.
The 92-year-old Texas legend just announced the return of his Outlaw Music Festival Tour for 2026, bringing another stacked lineup of artists across the country this summer.
This year’s tour will feature Willie Nelson & Family alongside a rotating group of heavy hitters, including The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Lukas Nelson, Stephen Wilson Jr., and more depending on the stop.
The run kicks off July 3 in Irving, Texas, with a big Texas presence right out of the gate. From there, it rolls through multiple cities before wrapping up in late August.
Of course, one of the biggest highlights is Willie’s annual Fourth of July Picnic, happening July 4 in Austin. That show will include a special lineup with artists like Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell joining the bill.
This marks another year of the Outlaw Festival, which has become a staple summer tour since launching back in 2016.
Even with a slightly shorter run this year, Willie made it clear he’s not slowing down anytime soon, saying being on the road and playing for fans is still what he loves most.
Tickets for the 2026 dates go on sale this Friday.
