Stapleton will also be joining Willie for his 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour; Nelson said in a statement, “The Outlaw Music Festival Tour has always been about family and friends coming together for a great day of music and fun, and with the amazing group of artists joining us, this year promises to be our most special Outlaw Tour to date. I just can’t wait to get back on the road again.”
