Willie Nelsons 2019 edition of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour has added a new string of dates, with a diverse lineup of guests: Robert Plant, Luke Combs and Bonnie Raitt, among them. The announcement comes on Nelsons 86th birthday.
The indefatigable Texan already has a run of 10 shows booked for the tours first leg in June and July, with Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Alison Krauss, and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real on the bill. All of them return for the second leg, joining country artists like Combs and Brothers Osborne, and icons like Plant and Raitt. Plant and his group the Sensational Space Shifters and Combs each appear on only one date (Plant in Indianapolis; Combs in Cincinnati), while Raitt makes multiple appearances.
The newly announced shows, running between September 6th and 22nd, are focused along the East Coast and upper Midwest, with other dates in New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio.
