Willie Nelson Forced To Miss Launch Of Outlaw Music Festival Tour

Country music legend Willie Nelson was ordered by his doctor to sit out the kick off of his Outlaw Music Festival Tour on Friday night (June 21st) at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, GA.

His teamed shared on social media, "We regret to inform you that Willie Nelson is not feeling well, and per doctor's orders, has been advised to rest for the next four days. He is expected to make a quick recovery and join the Outlaw Music Festival tour next week.

"In the meantime, Lukas Nelson and the Family Band, along with a few guests, will perform a special set to include Willie's classics and others songs. Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and Celisse will continue to perform as scheduled."

The dates for the festival continued last night (June 22nd) in Charlotte, NC and will visit Raleigh, NV's Coastal Credit Union Music Park tonight. It appears, Nelson will rejoin the trek when it visits the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater at Virginia Beach on Wednesday (June 26th).

"This year's Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists.
