The lineup for Willie Nelson’s second Country Throwdown Tour has been announced! The outdoor amphitheater tour will feature both iconic and emerging country artists, a full concourse of attractions and vendors, and an affordable ticket price. Besides Willie, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, Craig Campbell, and Lukas Nelson & the Promise of Real will also be on the tour.
“I’m really looking forward to the Throwdown Tour and working with Jamey, Randy and all the folks…it will be fun,” said Willie.
“Willie Nelson is an American treasure,” said Jamey who was on the Throwdown Tour last year. “When I was asked to return on the Throwdown Tour and was told Willie would be doing the shows, it was a simple yes.”
“To tour with someone as legendary as Willie Nelson is an honor, and to get to do that with my good buddies Jamey Johnson and Lee Brice makes this tour even better,” said Randy. “I joked during my last tour with Jamey that we would need rehab after the tour, but I can safely say that this tour is going to be even crazier! It’s definitely going to be a throw down out there.”
Besides the main seven artists performing on two stages, a main stage and a side stage, the Bluebird Café Stage will feature six singer-songwriters who will perform intimate “in the round” showcases throughout the day along with nightly performances on a specially designed stage between set changes. Bluebird Café artists will be announced soon.
A portion of all ticket sales will go to benefit Unite the United. Tickets go on sale February 18.
