Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson To Close Summerfest 50

MILWAUKEE, WI -- This year's Summerfest, the 50th since its 1968 inaugural, will close out with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, among others. The Outlaw Music Festival, which will take place within Summerfest, began last year in Pennsylvania with Willie Nelson at the head.

Notable artists playing in the Outlaw Music Festival include Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow, Promise of the Real (Nelson's son, Lukas' band), Margo Price, and Nathaniel Rateliff.

Dylan spent time at summer camp in Wisconsin as a child, and lived in the state for a brief time. Recently, one of Dylan's unrecorded songs, about the state, was included in an auction in Los Angeles, where bidding was set to start at $30,000.

Besides the Outlaw Music Festival, the Summerfest lineup includes big names such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers (June 28), Luke Bryan with the Brothers Osborne (June 29), Zach Brown Band (July 1), Pink (July 2), the Chainsmokers (July 4), Tom Petty and the Heartberakers with Chris Stapleton (July 5/6), Dierks Bentley with Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi (July 7), and Future, Big Sean and Migos (July 8).

Summerfest will run from June 28 to July 2, and from July 4 to 9.
