Willie Nelson turns 90 this week, and he’s ringing in the new decade with an announcement. The singer’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour is coming back for another year.

The tour will swing by Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Ampitheatre on Saturday, Oct. 7. Willie Nelson & Family, The Avett Brothers, Gov’t Mule, Elizabeth Cook and Particle Kid will perform.

“I am so thrilled to announce these additional dates for our 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” Nelson said in a news release. “I can’t wait to keep the celebration of my 90th birthday going into the fall with this great lineup of artists, my friends and family, and of course, the amazing fans.”

In 2016, Nelson hosted his first Outlaw Music Festival in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Since then, he has teamed up with Blackbird Presents to turn the event into a popular annual touring franchise, featuring guests like Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Neil Young and Van Morrison.
