Bob Dylan is set to co-headline Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival this summer, performing at all 25 shows during the annual touring event. This collaboration between the legendary musicians and longtime friends is highly anticipated by fans all over the country. The festival will kick off on June 21 in Alpharetta, Ga, with Robert Plant & Alison Krauss joining the first leg of the tour. John Mellencamp will then join the second leg starting on July 29 at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, Calif.

The highlight of the festival will be the performance by Dylan and Nelson at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on July 31. Joining them on stage will be John Mellencamp and rising star Brittney Spencer. Nelson, who celebrated his 90th birthday at the Bowl last year, is known for bringing together a star-studded lineup of performers including Neil Young, Beck, George Strait, and many others.

Outlaw Music Festival is renowned for showcasing progressive-country and Americana acts, and this year is no exception. Alongside big names like Dylan and Nelson, Celisse and Southern Avenue will be performing at various stops, while Billy Strings will make a special appearance at the Gorge Amphitheatre outside Seattle on Aug. 10.

The festival will conclude on Sept. 17 in Buffalo, N.Y., with tickets going on sale this Friday. Citi card members will have access to presale tickets from Tuesday to Thursday through the Citi Entertainment program. Willie Nelson expressed his excitement for this year’s lineup, stating, “This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists.”

Bob Dylan’s participation in the full tour marks a special moment in Outlaw Music Festival history. While he has performed with the festival in 2017, this will be the first time he joins for the entirety of the tour. Known for his iconic songs like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” Dylan’s presence is sure to elevate the festival experience for all attendees.

The Outlaw Music Festival made its debut in Scranton, Pa., in 2016 and has since grown into a popular touring event. Nelson, along with his manager Mark Rothbaum and promoter Blackbird Presents, decided to expand the festival to different cities, starting with 10 in 2017 and growing to 18 in 2018. The festival made its L.A. debut in 2018, featuring a lineup that included Grateful Dead alumnus Phil Lesh & Friends, Sturgill Simpson, and Margo Price.

Facing Criticism for Shooting Dog, South Dakota Governor Noem Discusses ‘Difficult Choices’

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem found herself in hot water recently after admitting to shooting her “untrainable” hunting dog. The controversial incident sparked public outrage, but it did not stop her from attending a gathering of California Republicans, where she received a warm reception on Saturday.

Noem, known for her stance on gun rights and conservative leadership, addressed more than 200 people at the California Republican Party convention in Burlingame. She emphasized the importance of patriotism and preserving American values amidst challenging times.

Although she did not directly reference the dog-shooting incident in her speech, she alluded to the controversy surrounding her decision to euthanize her dog named Cricket due to its poor hunting skills and an unfortunate incident involving farm chickens.

Attendees at the luncheon received a copy of Noem’s book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward,” which she promoted during her remarks. Despite the backlash, she remained firm in her convictions.

Noem’s focus shifted to her leadership in South Dakota, particularly her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and her decision to deploy the state’s National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border. She raised concerns about drug cartels exploiting Native American tribal lands in her state and criticized the federal government for its inaction.

Despite the controversy surrounding her, Noem commended former President Trump for his authenticity and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. She highlighted Trump’s unconventional approach to politics as a sign of his genuine character.

The convention, attended by over 800 delegates and guests, marked a significant gathering for California Republicans. Despite past protests during Trump’s appearance in Burlingame in 2016, the event with Noem proceeded smoothly with no major disruptions.

Noem’s resilience amidst adversity and her unwavering commitment to her principles garnered both admiration and scrutiny at the California Republican Party convention.
