Willie Nelson Extends Outlaw Music Festival Tour, Adds Bob Weir & Wolf Bros, The String Cheese Incident and More to Lineup

Following up on the initial announcement that Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour would return to the road this summer, the artist has tacked on additional dates and guests for his upcoming tour, which will commence on June 23 at Somerset Amphitheater in Somerset, Wis.

According to the artist, the newly dropped dates will include appearances from Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring the Wolf Pack, The String Cheese Incident, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Los Lobos, Elizabeth Cook, and other previously announced players.

Newly added dates will pick up on Sept 8 at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, N.C., before continuing to Charlotte, N.C., the following night. In addition, the ensemble will pick up appearances in Tennessee and South Carolina before meandering up the coast for a mid-September appearance in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Nelson and his accompaniment will pop over to Massachusetts, followed by a Sept. 17 gig outside New York City at Forest Hills Stadium. After which, they’ll play a show at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Conn., on Sept. 20, which arrives before their ensuing gig at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich.

After some time away from the stage, dates will pick back up on Oct. 6 in West Palm Beach. Then, the group will take part in a stand in Tampa, Fla., prior to their jaunt through Alabama. After time in the Cotton State, they’ll perform two shows in Mississippi before their final stand on Oct. 15 at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, Ala.

George Strait is known as ‘The King Of Country‘ for a reason.

Not only can the Texas icon boast sixty No. 1 singles in his armoury, but Strait also knows how to put on a spectacular, unforgettable live show. The charming troubadour infuses his sets with a captivating combination of sing-a-long anthems and affectingly personal moments, such as when he delivers his tear-jerking send-off to the crowd, ‘I'll Always Remember You’ and the introspective ‘I Saw God Today’.

Of course, Strait leaves plenty of room for his most recognisable anthems , from the swaggering, tongue-in-cheek ‘All My Ex's Live in Texas’ and ‘Ocean Front Property’, to irresistible ballads such as ‘Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her’ and ‘I Can Still Make Cheyenne’.

Despite possessing one of the most coveted back catalogues in country music history, George Strait is not afraid to try his hand at a few crowd-pleasing covers during his live shows. In 2023, The King has been performing tracks such as Willie and Merle's ‘Pancho & Lefty’, Johnny's ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and Waylon's ‘Waymore's Blues’.

Other fan-favourite offerings that have been making their way into George Strait's 2023 setlist include ‘The Chair’, ‘Check Yes Or No’, ‘Give It Away’ and the unabashedly jaunty yet heartbroken hit that launched his career back in 1981, ‘Unwound’.

In addition, the country titan continues to serenade fans with an array of newer material, such as ‘Codigo’ (named after Strait's brand of Tequila), ‘The Weight of the Badge’ and ‘Every Little Honky Tonk Bar’.

With a series of blockbuster stadium shows lined up throughout 2023, featuring appearances from Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town, fans will have ample opportunity to see The King remind everyone why he still sits on the country music throne.

George Strait hinted at riding away and Chris Stapleton 'Outlawed' at Arizona concert

An unassuming presence dressed in his signature cowboy hat, Wranglers and boots with a button-down shirt, George Strait has never been the type of entertainer to approach a concert with the feverish intensity a guy like Garth Brooks might invest in playing to the back rows of a stadium.

Strait's more the type to stand there and focus his efforts on drawing the audience into the lyrical heart of the matter with the strength of his delivery, occasionally punctuating what he's singing with a smile that hasn’t lost its charm with age.

That’s how he got to be the King of Country Music, sending 44 songs to the top on Billboard’s country singles chart, the most of any artist in the history of the genre.

And on Saturday night, at the launch of his 2023 stadium tour in Glendale, Arizona, he took us on a ride through the eras , although it wasn't a hit, but a monologue reflecting on his final curtain call that made the biggest emotional impact.

Playing the classics, from 'All My Ex's Live in Texas' to 'Amarillo by Morning'

There wasn’t time to dust off every No. 1 he’s ever had at State Farm Stadium, the first of only seven stadiums he plans to play in 2023 with special guest Chris Stapleton.

But fans were treated to a staggering assortment of his most iconic hits, from “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” to “Check Yes or No,” "Amarillo by Morning" and “The Chair,” in a 32-song set that ended, as it had to, with “The Cowboy Rides Away,” one of several songs that couldn’t help but feel a bit more poignant as delivered by a performer about to turn 71.

The emotional resonance of “Troubadour,” a reflective ballad that opens with “I still feel 25 most of the time,” was further underscored by photos of the artist as a young man splashed across the screen behind him.

His vocals have held up remarkably well, although there were times when they did get overpowered by the playing of his band, especially when he dipped into his lower register. But that was more a function of the mix.

Strait was backed by his Ace in the Hole Band, a trusty collection of talented players who set the tone for his performance with “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” a tip of the hat to Strait’s beloved home state and the subject of a number of the concert’s finest moments, from “Amarillo By Morning” (his personal favorite) to “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” and “Take Me to Texas.”

They reached back to his 1981 debut, “Strait Country,” for a set-closing rendition of his breakthrough hit, “Unwound,” and brought us up to date with three selections from “Honky Tonk Time Machine," his latest effort.

Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Tom Petty tunes were a welcome surprise

They also slipped in tributes to his heroes Waylon Jennings (“Waymore’s Blues”) and Merle Haggard (“Misery and Gin”) and somehow landed on perhaps the most garage-rock entry in Tom Petty's massive catalog, “You Wreck Me,” which they bashed out with requisite swagger and a smoking hot guitar lead.

Toward the end of his performance, Strait took a break from the music and had retired Lt. General Leroy Sisco come out to present a mortgage-free home to a military veteran, retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. John R. Stapleton, a Strait tradition going back at least a decade.

Midway through the concert, he was joined by Stapleton on a cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “Pancho and Lefty” (as famously covered by Waylon & Willie) and two Stapleton songs Strait recorded (“You Don’t Know What You’re Missing” and “Love’s Gonna Make it Alright”).

It was an unexpected treat in a set with no shortage of highlights, from “The Fireman” to “Here For a Good Time" and “Ocean Front Property" — inspiring the massive singalongs you'd expect —and he dedicated "I'll Always Remember You" to the fans.

Is George Strait saying goodbye?

That last one may have been the emotional centerpiece of Strait's entire 32-song set, especially the monologue.

"I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this, but I figure a few," he said in that unhurried, conversational delivery.

"I do want you to know, though, that when I do walk off this stage for the last time and I'm all settled in, away from all this, you won't be far away. I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind. And I'll always remember you."

It was one of several moments in the more reflective back half of his set that had to leave a person wondering if this could be where the cowboy rides away, as Strait sang on his final song.

The man's already done a two-year farewell tour. It didn't stick. But if this is the last we see of Strait in Arizona, you can't say he didn't leave us wanting more.

Chris Stapleton remains his own distinctive brand of maverick

Stapleton’s own set more than lived up to the hype that greeted his arrival on the scene with “Traveller.” He’s the spiritual heir to the Outlaw Country movement of the ‘70s. He even has a song called “Outlaw State of Mind.” And his touring band includes a longtime Willie Nelson sideman, Mickey Raphael, on harmonica.

He tipped his signature hat to Southern Rock with a soulful reading of the genre’s most iconic anthem, “Free Bird,” forgoing the epic guitar jam to segue straight from “and this bird you cannot change” into an anthem of own device, “The Devil Named Music.”

And by that point, it was more than clear that Stapleton is destined to remain his own distinctive brand of maverick.

Highlights ranged from the Townshendesque speed-strumming brilliance and primal garage-rocking essence of an electrifying “Second One to Know” to the tortured soul of his vocals on several awe-inspiring ballads, from “Cold” and “I Was Wrong” to the song that’s destined to remain his calling card, “Tennessee Whiskey.”

Little Big Town got the party started

Little Big Town got the party started with a hit-filled set whose highlights ranged from gospel-fueled originals that seemed hellbent on taking us all to the little white church in the lyrics to a deeply soulful reading of the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses.”

Their stylistic range came shining through when the rowdiness of “Stay All Night” gave way to the vulnerability Karen Fairchild brought to “Girl Crush.”

And Kimberly Schlapman put world events in their proper perspective when she said, “Across the pond, they’re coronating a new king. But right now, we are in the King’s house. Yes! King George is here.”

For the first time ever, and to help celebrate his 90th birthday in 2023, American icon Willie Nelson provides the stories behind the lyrics of 160 of his favorite songs, along with a dynamic assortment of never-before-seen photos and ephemera.

From his earliest work in the 1950s to today, Willie looks back at the songs that have defined his career, from his days of earning $50 each to his biggest hits, from his less well-known songs (but incredibly meaningful to him) to his concept albums. Along the way, he also shares the stories of his guitar Trigger, his family and “family,” as well as the artists he collaborated with, including Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, and many others.

Willie is disarmingly honest—what do you have to lose when you’re about to turn 90? —meditating on the nature of songwriting and finding his voice, and the themes he’s explored his whole life—relationships, infidelity, love, loss, friendship, life on the road, and particularly poignant at this juncture of his life: mortality.

Revealing, funny, whimsical, and wise, this book is an enduring tribute to Willie Nelson's legacy.
