Embrace the Spirit of Rebellion: Outlaw Festival 2026
Catch the legendary Willie Nelson & Family and Bob Dylan, who will perform at every show, along with superstars such as Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, Lake Street Dive, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, and many more. Each stop on the tour promises a unique blend of outlaw spirit and genre-defying music, making it a must-see event for fans of authentic Americana
Willie Nelson & Bob Dylan on the Outlaw Festival
Willie Nelson is the heartbeat of the Music Festival – a bandleader, songwriter and host whose touring life now stretches across seven decades. At 92, he still curates the lineup, anchors the closing set and treats every stop like a family reunion.
From “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” to “On the Road Again,” Willie’s sets blend deep cuts with road-tested anthems, backed by the Family Band and framed by his weathered guitar, Trigger. The festival takes its outlaw name and its easy-going spirit directly from him.
For a full career timeline, recent setlists and album history, see our complete Willie Nelson guide .
Bob Dylan brings a different kind of electricity to the Outlaw nights – a shape-shifting bandleader whose live shows move from reimagined classics to recent “Rough and Rowdy Ways” material without ever slowing down.
On this run, Dylan appears at every date beside Willie, turning the tour into a rare meeting of two American songbook architects. One night you might hear “Like a Rolling Stone” or “Not Dark Yet” in a new arrangement; the next, he leans into blues, piano and deep cuts only long-time fans recognise.
