"I am so thrilled to announce these additional dates for our 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour" says Willie Nelson. "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."

Wheatley Vodka will be joining the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour as the official presenting sponsor of the entire tour. As part of its presenting sponsorship, Wheatley Vodka will be hosting pop-up experiences, giveaways, tastings and more at select dates throughout the tour.

"Wheatley Vodka is thrilled to be hitting the road with Outlaw Music Festival this year," said David Binder, Willie and Wheatley fan and brand director at Sazerac. "Our vodka is made in the heartland of the USA in Frankfort, KY and is crafted to be the smoothest, most sippable vodka on the market. It's the perfect spirit to enjoy when rocking out to music from all the talented artists on tour with Outlaw this summer."

The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Scranton, PA. The sold-out show was so well received that Blackbird and Nelson have developed it into one of North America's biggest annual touring franchises. Musicians such as Robert Plant, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, ZZ Top, Eric Church, Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crow, Sturgill Simpson, The Avett Brothers and many more have been a part of the Outlaw Tour, sharing unforgettable music memories and unique vendor villages with local food, drinks and shopping in Live Nation amphitheaters across the country.

With a career spanning an incredible seven decades, Willie Nelson is widely recognized as one of the greatest and most influential artists in the history of popular music. A true living legend who has built a globally celebrated career as a musician, author, actor and activist, Willie turns 90 years young, as vibrant, active and dynamic as ever. This year alone, Willie won two 2023 Grammy Awards, is set to celebrate his 90th birthday with a star studded sold out 2-day event at the Hollywood Bowl, premiered the definitive five-part documentary film on his extraordinary life and career at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, released a new album I Don't Know A Thing About Love, is nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has a new book available, and continues to perform across the country while also headlining iconic festivals including Outlaw Music Festival Tour, Farm Aid, and his annual July 4th Picnic.
