Willie Nelson is on the road again \u2014 and this time, he\u2019s bringing Neil Young with him. <\/p>\n

Every summer since 2017 \u2014 with the exception of the COVID-19 shutdown year of 2020 \u2014 Nelson has brought his Outlaw Music Festival to the Philadelphia area, playing either the waterfront amphitheater in Camden or the Mann Center in Fairmount Park. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

That streak ended this year, with Nelson cutting down on his touring schedule and eliminating many cities from the itinerary of the festival \u2014 which was founded in Scranton in 2016 \u2014 including Philly. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The lighter workload is certainly understandable: He\u2019s 93!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But it turns out that the Red Headed Stranger isn\u2019t skipping Philly after all. On Sept. 24, Willie Nelson & Family and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts will play a co-headlining date at the Highmark Mann. Highly-touted Austin, Tex. teenage songwriter Ty Myers is also on the show. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The late breaking booking seems like it came out of nowhere, but makes perfect tour routing sense. Young and Nelson, of course, play together each September at Farm Aid, the annual fundraising show that has taken place every year since 1985, when it was inspired by a Bob Dylan onstage remark at Live Aid in Philadelphia in 1985.<\/p>\n

This year, Farm Aid \u2014 with Nelson and Young joined by John Mellencamp, Margo Price, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Sierra Ferrell, Nathaniel Rateliff, and others \u2014 will take place on Sept. 26 in Virginia Beach, Va. So the newly added Philly show qualifies as a warm up of sorts, the first part of a Willie and Neil long weekend. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Young\u2019s show with the Chrome Hearts \u2014 his backing band which includes Willie\u2019s son Micah Nelson and organist Spooner Oldham of the celebrated soul music Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section known as \u201cthe Swampers\u201d \u2014 will be his first in the Philly area since his date with Crazy Horse at Camden\u2019s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in 2024.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It will also be Young\u2019s first show at the Mann since 1988, when he played with his big band blues ensemble the Bluenotes on his Sponsored by Nobody Tour. The Canadian rocker, 80, also played the venue in 1987 with Crazy Horse and in 1985 with his countryfied band the International Harvesters.<\/p>\n
