PHOENIX – Two of the music world’s greatest living legends are coming to Phoenix this spring to kick off the 2025 Outlaw Music Festival Tour.
Willie Nelson & Family and Bob Dylan are the headline acts for the festival’s 10th anniversary tour, which starts May 13 at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre.
Presales for the Phoenix concert start Tuesday, and tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday.
Nelson, 91, is a beloved national treasure with more than 100 studio albums to his credit.
Dylan, 83, was the first musician to win the Nobel Prize for literature. The early stages of his celebrated career are depicted in the Oscar-nominated biopic “A Complete Unknown.”
Nelson’s last Arizona appearance was at Mesa Amphitheatre in April 2024, according to setlist.fm. Dylan hasn’t been to the Grand Canyon State since his shows at the TCC Music Hall in Tucson and Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix in March 2022.
