SOMERSET, Wis. — Ask most 90-year-olds what's on their summer to-do list, and it's a good bet that an outdoor amphitheater tour won't be mentioned.
But Willie Nelson is decidedly not like most nonagenarians. He is packing up the family band and hitting the road with a couple of good friends, with Somerset, Wis. on the list of musical stops.
The 2024 Outlaw Music Tour, featuring Willie, Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp, will play the Somerset Amphitheater on Friday, Sept. 6. Southern Avenue will handle warm-up duties. General admission tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, March 1 via the Outlaw Music Festival website. Citi card members can take advantage of pre-sale opportunities from Tuesday, Feb. 27 to Thursday, Feb 29.
Nelson, Dylan and Mellencamp are all music legends who share a bond through their commitment to America's farmers and the historic Farm Aid shows that began in 1985. The Outlaw Musical festival kicked off more than 20 years later, a chance for Willie to gather up his favorite musical collaborators, hit the road and play live.
Through the years, the festival lineup has featured artists like Chris Stapleton, Neil Young, Luke Combs, Van Morrison, ZZ Top, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson and The Avett Brothers.
