Set amidst the dramatic backdrop of George, Washington, the concert slated for Saturday, Aug. 10 is one for the books.

According to Seattle Refined, Nelson, who turns 91 this year and shows no signs of slowing down, is gearing up to make this iteration of The Outlaw Music Festival Tour the most memorable yet. Joining for a rendezvous at The Gorge, Billy Strings, who is strumming into the heart of the PNW for his sole appearance on the tour, promises to make the show a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Tickets for this power-packed event will start hitting the virtual box office on March 1 at 10 a.m. local time. For those wielding Citi cards, a presale window from Feb. 27 to Feb. 29 gives them a head start on the general public. Fans looking to catch these titans of music can snag their passes through the festival's official website, as detailed by Variety.

Feeding into the anticipation, Nelson shared his excitement about returning to the live music scene, surrounded by both family and legendary peers, performing the tunes they love for an adoring public. "This year's Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists. I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love," Nelson said, in a statement that reverberated through the report by KOMO News. While eagerly waiting for the concert date to arrive, Washington's music lovers can only hope that the summer's breeze carries the melodies of these icons with the same energy they've been known for throughout their illustrious careers.
