Outlaw Music Festival at the Gorge & 2026 Tour
The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington is widely considered one of the most spectacular concert venues on earth, with its stage overlooking the dramatic Columbia River Gorge canyon. The Outlaw Music Festival has made stops at the Gorge in recent years, and the combination of Willie Nelson's timeless music with the venue's breathtaking sunset views creates a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience that fans travel from across the Pacific Northwest to witness.
The 2026 Outlaw Music Festival features 12 dates from July 3 through August 30 across Texas, the Midwest, and the Northeast. While the Pacific Northwest doesn't have a confirmed 2026 stop, check the events above for any added dates. BigStub carries tickets for every confirmed tour date with buyer protection on every order.
Whether you catch the Outlaw at the Gorge or travel to another stop on the 2026 tour, the experience is unforgettable.
The Gorge — America's Most Scenic Amphitheater
Perched 900 feet above the Columbia River in central Washington state, the Gorge Amphitheatre has been a bucket-list venue for music fans since its opening in 1986. The 27,500-capacity venue offers a natural grass lawn that slopes down toward a stage backed by the most dramatic panorama in live music — canyon walls, the winding river, and endless eastern Washington sky. For Outlaw shows, the magic is amplified: watching Willie Nelson perform "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" as the sun sets behind the canyon is an experience fans describe as transcendent. The venue is about 150 miles east of Seattle, making it a destination event that many concertgoers pair with camping at the adjacent grounds.
