The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, Pa. featuring Willie Nelson & Family, Neil Young + Promise of the Real, Sheryl Crow, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Lee Ann Womack, and others. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson decided to take their band of outlaws on the road as a touring festival in both 2017 and 2018. Last year, the Outlaw Tour hosted more than 200,000 fans in amphitheaters and arenas all over the country.
Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday (March 8) at 10am local time. On sale dates vary in some locations, see http://outlawmusicfestival.com for details.
