Recently, Alpine Valley Music Theatre had posted on social media that their 2025 calendar was defrosting. On Monday morning, they might as well have taken a blowtorch to it, with a major concert announcement.

Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival will be at Hartford’s Xfinity Theatre in September with Willie Nelson & Friends, Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Waxahatchee and Madeline Edwards.

Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan will play the Hollywood Bowl again in May during the Outlaw Music Festival tour, which includes Billy Strings and Sierra Hull.
