Willie Nelson, Mark Rothbaum, Keith Wortman, Blackbird Presents, and Live Nation proudly announce the return of the 2026 Outlaw Music Festival Tour as it enters its second decade on the road. Following last year’s milestone 10th anniversary, which Rolling Stone hailed as “undoubtedly the most exciting and eclectic multi-artist festival of the 2025 summer amphitheater season by a wide margin,” the festival ushers in a new era, continuing its tradition of unforgettable music and community that has made it a true cultural phenomenon.

Headlining this special limited run is once again the legendary Willie Nelson. With fewer appearances on the road this year, each night carries added significance, a rare chance to experience a living legend alongside a powerhouse lineup of iconic voices and next-generation trailblazers.

The tour, which kicks off on July 3 in Irving, Texas, features Willie Nelson & Family, The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Lukas Nelson, Stephen Wilson Jr., Margo Price, Sierra Hull, Robert Randolph, Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, and Lily Meola.

The tour also includes Willie’s annual Fourth of July Picnic, which will feature special guests Billy Strings and Rodney Crowell. Please see the market lineups below for the artists performing in each city.

“Being on the road and playing for the fans is what I love to do. We don’t get to do as many shows as we used to, so every night out there means a little more. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and making it a special time.” — Willie Nelson

From global chart-toppers to rising local names, Vancouver is lining up a packed summer. The FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver is turning the PNE into a major concert hub during the FIFA World Cup 2026, with one of the biggest live music programs the city has seen in years.

The first wave of artists has been announced, mixing international stars with Canadian talent. The festival will run across 28 days, with multiple performances scheduled throughout, anchored by a ticketed amphitheatre concert series at Hastings Park. More artists set for the free park stage and daily programming are still to come.

Two key shows stand out right away. Mötley Crüe will headline a July 12 concert alongside Finger Eleven and Toque. A few days later, electronic duo Kx5 take over on July 17 with special guests.

Tickets for the amphitheatre series go on presale March 31 at 10 a.m. through April 1 at 10 p.m., with general sales opening April 2. Fans can sign up now at www.vancouverfwc26.ca/fifa-fan-festival/entertainment to access the presale before tickets open to the public on April 2.

The lineup covers a wide range of genres, from rock and pop to hip-hop, electronic, and global sounds. Alongside big-name acts, the festival puts a strong spotlight on Canadian artists, especially from British Columbia. Names like Snotty Nose Rez Kids, The Funk Hunters, Five Alarm Funk, Current Swell, Jesse Roper, The Boom Booms, Shawn Hook, and Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer highlight the local scene, alongside acclaimed Inuk artist Elisapie.

Beyond ticketed shows, part of the amphitheatre will stay open to the public. A general admission floor with space for about 2,600 people will be available on a first-come basis during match days, giving fans a free way to catch live music. The two July headline concerts will require paid tickets.

Matches from the FIFA World Cup™ will be screened across the grounds, including inside the amphitheatre, making it a central spot for both soccer and live music.

“Vancouver is ready to show the world how we celebrate,” said Mayor Ken Sim. “We’re incredibly lucky to be welcoming such a talented lineup of artists for this once-in-a-generation experience. The FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver will be at the heart of the action this summer, bringing residents and visitors together for a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.”

The Province of British Columbia is backing the festival as part of a push to spotlight the region globally.

“This festival is more than a celebration of the beautiful game – it is a vibrant showcase of how music, sport and culture can unite the world together,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “By presenting an extraordinary lineup that blends global headliners with exceptional Canadian and local artists, we are creating an unforgettable world-class experience that showcases our creative industries and builds a cultural legacy that will resonate across British Columbia and the world for years to come.”

Organizers expect strong turnout across the full 28-day run, with the amphitheatre acting as a key draw.

“We’ve curated a 28-day program that ensures every fan, whether they are here for the matches or the music, finds something to love,” said Jessie Adcock, Vancouver Host Committee Lead. “From the brand-new amphitheatre to the park stage to our immersive cultural programming, the scale of this festival is significant for Vancouver. We’re thrilled to provide a free, accessible space where the world can experience our city’s hospitality and creative spirit.”
