Willie Nelson, Mark Rothbaum, Keith Wortman, Blackbird Presents, and Live Nation are thrilled to announce an additional 16 shows scheduled for the fall of 2023 as part of the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival tour. The largest-ever Outlaw tour continues the celebration of Willie’s milestone 90^th birthday just as Willie wants it – on the road with his friends, family and beloved fans. 

Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival will make an appearance at Pine Knob Music Theatre on Friday, September 22 at 5:55 p.m. with Willie Nelson & Family, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros. featuring The Wolfpack, The String Cheese Incident, and Waylon Payne. Pine Knob Music Theatre is presented by Proud Partners United Wholesale Mortgage, Trinity Health and Ally.

“I am so thrilled to announce these additional dates for our 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” said Willie Nelson. “I can’t wait to keep the celebration of my 90^th birthday going into the fall with this great lineup of artists, my friends and family, and of course, the amazing fans.” 

Wheatley Vodka will be joining the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival tour as the official presenting sponsor of the entire tour. As part of its presenting sponsorship, Wheatley Vodka will be hosting pop-up experiences, giveaways, tastings, and more at select dates throughout the tour. 

“Wheatley Vodka is thrilled to be hitting the road with Outlaw Music Festival this year,” said David Binder, Willie and Wheatley fan and brand director at Sazerac. “Our vodka is made in the heartland of the USA in Frankfort, KY and is crafted to be the smoothest, most sippable vodka on the market. It’s the perfect spirit to enjoy when rocking out to music from all the talented artists on tour with Outlaw this summer.”

The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, PA. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson have developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises. Musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, ZZ Top, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crow, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing unforgettable music memories and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping in Live Nation amphitheaters across the country.
