Country legend Willie Nelson will be headlining the Brandon Amphitheatre on Friday, Oct. 13 as part of the 2023 Outlaw Music Festival.
Nelson was scheduled to perform last year in Brandon, but members of the band tested positive for COVID-19, the show was postponed and then eventually canceled.
The tour is to celebrate Nelson's 90th birthday.
“I am so thrilled to announce these additional dates for our 2023 Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” said Nelson in a release. “I can’t wait to keep the celebration of my 90th birthday going into the fall with this great lineup of artists, my friends and family, and of course, the amazing fans.”

Other performers include the Avett Brothers, Elizabeth Cook, Mike Campbell, the Dirty Knobs and Particle Kid. There will be a second Mississippi show on Oct. 14 in Southhaven with the same opening acts.
The Brandon Amphitheatre is located at 190 Rock Way, Boyce Thompson Drive, in Brandon.
The inaugural Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in 2016 in Pennsylvania. The sold-out show was so well received that it has developed it into one of North America’s biggest annual touring franchises.
