Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan to Headline 2024 Outlaw Music Festival

Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson performing in 2004

The 2024 Outlaw Music Festival Tour will feature an unprecedented lineup including headliners Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, and John Mellencamp with Brittney Spencer, Celisse, and Southern Avenue. See the market lineups for artists performing in various cities below. Tickets are available here.

“This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists. I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love,” says Nelson, who turns 91 on April 29.

Dylan will be 82 when the tour begins. He had previously announced many dates for the 2024 edition of his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” tour.

Dylan was a surprise guest at Farm Aid’s 2023 concert. The legendary musician played a three-song set, backed by members of the Heartbreakers including guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench and drummer Steve Ferrone (along with members of Campbell’s band, The Dirty Knobs). There he was, following a set change, and almost as surprising, playing guitar as he began to sing “Maggie’s Farm.” Dylan followed with “Positively 4th Street” and “Ballad of a Thin Man.” An off-the-cuff comment by Dylan at Live Aid about the plight of the American farmer led to its creation in 1985.

The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, Pa. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird, Rothbaum, and Nelson have developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises. Musicians such as Chris Stapleton, Neil Young, Luke Combs, Van Morrison, ZZ Top, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing unforgettable music memories and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks, and shopping in Live Nation amphitheaters across the country.
