Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown Tour mixes top country music artists with emerging singer-songwriters in a festival environment. In addition to the seven main artists performing on two stages (a main stage and one side stage), the Bluebird Caf� Stage will feature six singer-songwriters. Fans will get to see these artists perform intimate "in the round" sets on the Bluebird Caf� stage throughout the day, as well as nightly performances on a specially designed stage during the main stage set changes. Artists for the Bluebird Caf� Stage will be announced soon.

"I'm really looking forward to the Throwdown Tour and working with Jamey, Randy and all the folks� it will be fun," Nelson said in a statement. more on this story
