MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mempho Presents, proud independent promoter of the Memphis leg of the Outlaw Music Festival, taking place on June 27th at Radians Amphitheater, announced that ticket sales surged on opening and continue to trend towards a sell-out event. The tour, which kicked off earlier this month, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with Memphis being the 12th stop on the 35-stop tour spanning 22 states.

Founded by Willie Nelson, the Outlaw Music Festival is renowned for bringing together legendary musicians on a nationwide tour. With many venues expecting to sell out, Mempo Presents is confident the turnout will be a huge success.

"Based on current ticket sales and our experience producing festivals across Memphis - from RiverBeat to Mempho Fest to Shell Daze and many others, we believe the Outlaw Festival will be a highlight event on our music calendar and a sell-out success," said Jeff Bransford, Producer, Mempho Presents. "With RiverBeat drawing approximately 30,000 attendees and our current sales trending above pattern, we're positioned for an incredible turnout to celebrate music icons."

The Memphis leg will feature Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, and Tami Neilson with rave reviews pouring in from fans who have attended in famed venues including the Hollywood Bowl, The Gorge, and Talking Stick Resort in Phoenix. According to a recent article in Variety, Outlaw is "this year's must-see tour." Dylan who recently turned 84 and Nelson, 92, are still "effing good…better, even. Also adding, "Are there any figures in American music more inspirational than these two?"

Started in 2016, in partnership with Blackbird Presents, the Outlaw Music Festival continues to tout that not only is it America's largest touring festival, but it is also the biggest tour to date.

"We're honored Outlaw Music Festival organizers chose Mempho Presents to bring this historic Americana festival to Memphis - it's the perfect match of music and place. Memphis has always been the crossroads where country, blues, rock, and soul converge. Having icons like Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan perform here honors our rich musical heritage while inspiring the next generation of artists. This festival is rooted at the intersection of American music history, from Beale Street to Sun Studios to Stax, and Memphis's role as an incubator of authentic American sound. It's not just a celebration of Americana music, it's a celebration of Memphis' enduring influence on American culture."
