John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson, seen here at Farm Aid last year, will headline the 2024 Outlaw Music Festival tour.

An already very busy summer concert season just got a whole lot better with the announcement of the 2024 Outlaw Music Festival. Willie Nelson & family, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and John Mellencamp will be joined with special appearances by Billy Strings, Celisse, Southern Avenue and Brittney Spencer. Plant & Krauss will join for the first part of the tour and Mellencamp on the second. Dylan will join the tour for all of the shows.

The Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016, in Scranton, Pa., just a couple hours north of where we produce World Cafe in Philladelphia. While Dylan played a couple of Outlaw fests in 2017, this is the first time he'll be on the entire tour.
