I don’t know how Willie Nelson does it.
The living legend is celebrating his 90th birthday this Saturday, and somehow, still manages to tour and play shows pretty much year-round.
And today, he announced that he’s adding a slew of new dates to his 2023 Outlaw Music Festival tour, which is slated to kickoff in June.
The new shows include openers such as Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros. featuring the Wolfpack, The Avett Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Gov’t Mule and many more.
Willie says he can’t wait to continue his 90th birthday celebration with such incredible shows this fall:
“I am so thrilled to announce these additional dates for our 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour.’
I can’t wait to keep the celebration of my 90th birthday going into the fall with this great lineup of artists, my friends and family, and of course, the amazing fans.”
Of course, his family band will be joining him for these shows as well, and tickets go on sale this Friday, April 28th at 10 AM local time:
And that big birthday celebration he was referring to is coming up this weekend in the form of a two-day concert dubbed: Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90, A Star-Studded Concert Celebrating Willie’s 90th Birthday, which will feature performances by tons of his closest friends and family at the iconic Hollywood Bowl.
Willie also released his 98th career studio album I Don’t Know A Thing About Love at the beginning of March, and it’s pretty damn incredible that he just keeps going the way he does at his age… really, it’s the stuff of legends, so I guess we shouldn’t really be all that surprised, though that doesn’t make it any less impressive.
And it goes without saying, but seeing the red headed stranger live in any capacity is a bucket list show for sure, so take a look and see if he’ll be making a stop anywhere near you on this run.
