Watch Willie Nelson & Family perform at the 2018 Outlaw Music Festival
The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, PA. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson have developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises. Over the years, musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, which also features unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping.
