Willie Nelson, Outlaw Music Festival To Play In Pittsburgh Saturday

PITTSBURGH, PA — Willie Nelson is having his 90th birthday celebration on the road this year as he again headlines the Outlaw Music Festival. The tour makes a Pittsburgh stop Saturday at the Pavilion at Star Lake.

Appearing with Nelson, who turned 90 in April, will be John Fogerty, Flatland Cavalry, Kathleen Edwards and Particle Kid.

Regarding the festival, Nelson said in a recent statement: "It is always a great day of music and fun with family, friends and the incredible fans, and even more special this year in celebration of my 90th birthday.”

The Country Music Hall Of Fame calls Nelson "one of the most versatile, enduring, and influential talents in country music."

"As a vocal stylist, songwriter, bandleader, and even occasional movie actor, his long commercial reign (2o number one country hits and 114 chart singles between 1962 and 1993) has been outstripped only by his boundless energy as a performer and songwriter."
