Bob Dylan Joins Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour, Set for Hollywood Bowl Stop
Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has officially joined the lineup for Willie Nelson’s 2025 Outlaw Music Festival Tour, bringing an iconic pairing of Americana royalty to stages across the country. The highly anticipated tour will include a special stop at the historic Hollywood Bowl, promising an unforgettable night of music under the stars.
Dylan, who last toured with Nelson in 2004 during the Ballpark Tour, adds star power and historical depth to the already robust lineup. Joining Dylan and Nelson are fellow country-rock legends John Mellencamp and southern jam band Whiskey Myers, with other rotating guests including Brittney Spencer and Celisse. The tour, produced by Blackbird Presents, kicks off later this summer and will run through the early fall, featuring over 25 dates across the U.S.
The Hollywood Bowl show, set for October 5, is expected to draw a multigenerational crowd eager to see two of the greatest songwriters in American music history share the stage. Willie Nelson, who just turned 92, remains an active touring force, and Dylan, now 84, continues to evolve his setlists with surprises from his vast catalog.
“This year’s Outlaw Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet,” said Nelson in a statement. “With Bob on board, we’re taking it to a whole new level.”
Tickets for the Hollywood Bowl stop go on sale Friday, with presale access available for Citi cardmembers and the official Outlaw Festival mailing list subscribers.
For fans of classic songwriting, roots music, and raw, authentic performance, this is more than a concert—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime cultural moment. Don’t miss your chance to witness living legends making music history.
