Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival axes show due to weather damage
Willie Nelson has been forced to cancel a concert after stage equipment was damaged by "extreme weather". The Outlaw Music Festival - which is headlined by the 92-year-old musician and also features artists including Bob Dylan, Nathaniel Rateliff + The Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles and Tami Nielson -in Missouri was cut short on Sunday (29.07.25) due to high wind and heavy rain and the decision has now been made to shelve the concert at the Lucky Star Ampitheater in El Reno, Oklahoma, on Tuesday (01.07.25) night because of the damage to the equipment. A statement shared to the festival's Instagram account read: 'The Outlaw Music Festival's 10th Anniversary concert event scheduled for July 1, 2025 at Lucky Star Amphitheater in El Reno, OK has been canceled due to unforeseeable circumstances. 'An extreme weather event on the evening of June 29th in Ridgedale, MO at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena produced heavy rains and high winds forcing the crowd to evacuate. "Unfortunately, much of the Outlaw Music Festival's equipment and artists' instruments were damaged and waterlogged, making their condition difficult to assess in time to accurately and safely use for tomorrow's show. The potential damage has halted the festival production as they recover and replace what's necessary for the tour to resume.' Willie shared the same statement on his own Instagram account and was deluged with comments asking if Trigger, his famous guitar, was affected. His spokesperson told People magazine: "Trigger is safe." Performer Tami Nielson had shared a video on Instagram that showed a storm approaching the Thunder Ridge venue in Ridgedale, Missouri, and explained she had been able to perform but Willie and Bob's sets had been cancelled. She captioned an image of the stage: 'We are all safe, but these tents ended up wrapped around this flag pole. "The sound desk was cooked and much of the gear on the left side of the stage was damaged in the winds and heavy rain.' The tour is expected to continue in Austin, Texas, on 4 July and refunds for the Oklahoma date will be issued.

The Real Reason Why Willie Nelson Celebrates Two Birthdays
Willie Nelson celebrates his 92nd birthday this year, and some fans might be surprised to learn that the "On the Road Again" singer actually has two birthdays. Willie was born in 1933 in Abbott, Texas, a small town about 25 miles north of Waco. His actual birthday is April 29, but, because he was born so late at night, the country clerk wasn't able to record it. So, on paper, his birthday is April 30. Willie explained, "I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn't get registered in the county courthouse until the next day, the 30th. So, it went out officially as the 30th. So I just do both days." In case you're wondering, Willie is showing no signs of slowing down. His 77th studio album, Oh What a Wonderful World, was released on April 25, and his Outlaw Festival tour kicks off in May for the 10th year. This time, Willie will be joined by Bob Dylan, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Sheryl Crow, Turnpike Troubadours, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, and more. Plus, he's bringing back his 4th of July Picnic in Austin, Texas. With a storied career like Willie's, it's certainly worth a double celebration! We're looking forward to seeing what's next for the country icon.
