The Outlaw Music Festival 2018 tour presents changing lineups led by Willie Nelson & Family. The festival began in 2016 and first went cross-country in 2017 and has extended its second leg through an Oct. 21 finale at the Hollywood Bowl. Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real have been along for the ride and will be there with Particle Kid, Margo Price and Sturgill Simpson. Appearing at Outlaw for the first time, Phil Lesh of Grateful Dead fame will be headlining for a unique presentation of old masters along with the young journeymen and women rising in stature.

"Willie is so American, you know, in the finest sense. Classic," said Lesh. "I've hoped to get back on the stage with him again for a long time now."

"I'm excited to play the Bowl with my old pal, Phil Lesh," said Nelson. "I'm sure there will be some magical music moments for all the fans."

In our exclusive Newport Folk Fest interview with Lukas Nelson, Willie's son spoke of the energy cycle connecting the younger generation with greats such as Neil Young who are able to teach them so much.  "It's like as we learn more and we grow, then we give him energy at the same time," said Lukas. "People in the audience can feel that too I think, and they get caught up in the cycle."

In addition to meaningful musical moments, every stop on the Outlaw tour features local cuisine, beers and crafts, celebrating regional culture. In Southern California, some new artisanal discoveries are bound to add to this one-of-a-kind event.

Tickets go on sale on Aug. 4 for the chance to catch the traveling fest in Los Angeles.

"Family farmers are the backbone of our country," said Willie Nelson. "But today, they are endangered. Whether we live in cities like Hartford or the rural areas of New England, each of us has the power to create positive, lasting change in our farm and food system and strengthen farm families to help them stay on the land for generations to come."

Tickets go on sale June 29 at the Farm Aid website. Billboard confirmed, "Farm Aid is the longest-running concert for a cause in pop music history." This will be Stapleton's first Farm Aid performance.

The stellar line-up for next week's RebuildTX.org "Harvey Can't Mess With Texas: A Benefit Concert for Hurricane Harvey Relief" has won more than 50 GRAMMY Awards between them, headlined by Willie Nelson and Paul Simon. Other performers include Asleep At The Wheel, Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, and more. How's that for Big Texas?

Tickets are now on sale for this biggest-ever Texas live benefit to be held on Sept. 22 in Austin. Funds will go toward the Rebuild Texas Fund, set up by the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation.

"This fund was created to help rebuild all of the communities — big and small — that have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey," said Michael Dell. "We will be rebuilding for years to come."

"We have an opportunity to do good by being our best, and that means putting on a show and having a good time," said Austin Mayor Steve Adler. "Let's show the world what it means to be the Live Music Capital of the World in the greatest state in the Union. I'll be there and hope to see you, too."

The benefit will be broadcast on Tegna's 11 local Texas stations and will livestream via YouTube. During the stream, Google has reportedly committed to matching the first $500,000 in donations.

The Outside Lands festival is coming to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on the weekend of Aug. 9–11. They announced their lineup this morning including 61st GRAMMY Awards Record Of The Year winner Childish Gambino and Album Of The Year winner Kacey Musgraves. Gambino aka Donald Glover also won for Best Music Video, Best Rap/Sung Performance and Song Of The Year. Kacey Musgraves' Golden Hour also won Best Country Album. Her track "Space Cowboy" won best Country Song and "Butterflies" won Best Country Solo Performance. The overlap between Outside Lands and winning at the 61st Awards doesn't stop there.

Other 61st winners in Outside Lands' lineup announced on March 26 are Leon Bridges, Lauren Daigle, Ella Mai, PJ Morton, and Anderson .Paak. Nominees from this year's show include Bebe Rexha and Tierra Whack. Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 61st as well.

The Outside Lands lineup is filled with winners of GRAMMY awards from other years as well. The list includes Edie Brickell, Flume, Lil Wayne, Paul Simon, and Mavis Staples. Blink-182, Counting Crows, Hozier, the Lumineers, and Bob Moses are among the artists in the lineup who've previously been nominated for GRAMMY awards.

GRAMMY wins and nominations are recognition for artists but the lesser-known acts coming to Golden Gate Park in August are also exciting and well worth a listen. We've covered San Holo, Yaeji and others. With a lineup this entertaining, the experience in the park this summer is bound to be fantastic.
