Willie Nelson just announced the lineup for his 2018 Outlaw Music Festival Tour, a rowdy celebration of the best in Americana and country music.
The nine-city tour will include special guests at every stop. Nelson will headline every show on the tour. Sturgill Simpson, Alison Krauss, Old Crow Medicine Show, Elvis Costello, Brandi Carlile, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, JD McPherson, The Head and the Heart, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats and Particle Kid are among the artists who will join the legendary artist for one or more tour dates. Each concert features a rotating lineup of artists.
The first leg of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour will kick off on May 25 in North Carolina and end in Texas in early July. Tickets for the festival will go on sale Friday, March 16.

The tour builds on last year's successful Outlaw Music Festival Tour, which included Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Margo Price and Jason Isbell. The first Outlaw Music Festival was held in 2016.
The festival will wrap just in time for yet another Willie Nelson party. Nelson's annual Fourth of July Party kicks off in Austin just three days after the final tour date.
