SARATOGA SPRINGS — Willie Nelson returns to the Spa City on Sept. 18 when the Outlaw Music Festival stages at Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
The festival kicks off in St. Louis, Missouri in June and concludes Sept. 23 in Philadelphia, PA.
A rotating accompaniment of artists – which includes ZZ Top (at Bethel N.Y. Aug. 13 and Darien, N.Y. Aug. 14), Steve Earle and Gov’t Mule, among others - will perform at different stages of the tour.
The Sept. 18 Saratoga date features Willie Nelson, The Avett Brothers, Billy Strings, Larkin Poe, and Brittney Spencer.
The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It has since developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises and has featured musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and others.
Promoter Live Nation this week also announced Shinedown, with special guests Jelly Roll, and John Harvie will perform at SPAC as part of their Planet Zero world tour on Sept. 14.
