The guest list for Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday all-star concerts at the Hollywood Bowl has been significantly expanded. Sixteen additional names were announced Wednesday for the already pac…
Nelson’s sole surviving fellow Highwayman, Kris Kristofferson, has also been appointed to the lineup. The son of one of those Highwaymen, Shooter Jennings, is joining the bill as well. Others freshly named to appear this Saturday or Sunday include Dwight Yoakam, Stephen Stills, Rodney Crowell, Booker T. Jones, Buddy Cannon, Daniel Lanois, Jamey Johnson, Waylon Payne and Lily Meola.
The “or” in regards to the two weekend shows is pertinent there, as most of the 45-plus artists will only appear either Saturday or Sunday and not both. Tickets for both nights were sold only as a two-night package, festival-style.
The shows are being presented by Blackbird Presents and Live Nation Hewitt-Silva. Blackbird Presents usually releases home video presentations of its tribute events, so it’s expected these two nights will be filmed for eventual release, although no plans have been announced.
