I got tickets to a show in Tunica several years ago. He bailed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, 17 you in the can with a windmill blade, Willie Nelson.

I remember that one.

Willie had a tour bus crash that postponed several dates.

I want to say there was a Jackson show that was also affected by that and that show wasn’t played until late 2014.

Worth buying a ticket to see the Avett Brothers and Mike Campbell. As far as actually wanting to hear them perform, Willie is 3rd on that poster for me.

Yeah.

The way the Outlaw Fest shows are designed is that the other musicians are showcased more & that YMMV when it comes to Willie’s performance.

I’ve been to one Outlaw show before and Willie’s set was fairly short— and really good for an 86 year old.

I was pleasantly surprised.

My story took place a bit before that. Probably 2004-2005 or so…. But I’m beginning to notice a pattern here!

He should have called it quits years ago.

I’ve never actually found the appeal of Willie. My wife is a TX native, which is the only reason I got the tickets to begin with. He’s not a prolific voice talent, for sure.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

He's canceled several shows. My guess is his health is bad and it won't happen

If you're old-school country fan, Willie wrote a ton of hit songs for other singers/bands. Too lazy to look them up, but that's his rep.

Is he still able to perform? He looked very feeble last time I saw him in the media.

Particle Kid sounds like a 4th generation X-Men character.

I guess that means Willie's a mutant then?

Popeye has his spinach. Willie has another green plant after all...

He'll be 90 later this month.

Seeing Willie is definitely a YMMV thing but he can still record music well. He won Grammies this past go around.

Tickets don't look to cost too much. I'd get a cheap seat for five hours or so of music from the rest of the crew and hopefully Willie's short set will be a good one.

He had a good night when I saw him in St. Louis for the 2019 Outlaw.
