In a statement, Nelson said, “The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has always been about family and friends coming together for a great day of music and fun, and with the amazing group of artists joining us, this year promises to be our most special Outlaw Tour to date.”
Nelson is able to get back on the road again after receiving the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine earlier this year. In late September, he headlined the virtual 2020 Farm Aid benefit concert after holding a pair of livestreamed concerts called “Til Further Notice” and “At Home with Farm Aid” earlier in the pandemic. In February, He released his latest album, That’s Life.
