Outlaw Music Festival Near Pittsburgh & 2026 Tour
Pittsburgh has been a reliable market for the Outlaw Music Festival, with past shows drawing packed crowds to The Pavilion at Star Lake (now known as KeyBank Pavilion) in Burgettstown, just outside the city. The Steel City's deep blue-collar roots and love of live music make it a natural home for Willie Nelson's celebration of artistic independence and authentic American songwriting.
The 2026 Outlaw Music Festival runs 12 dates from July 3 through August 30. Willie Nelson & Family headline every stop, with rotating support from Wilco, Sheryl Crow, The Avett Brothers, Billy Strings (Austin only), Lukas Nelson, Margo Price, Stephen Wilson Jr., Sierra Hull, Robert Randolph, and Don Was. Pittsburgh-area fans will find the nearest 2026 stops at Noblesville, Indiana (Aug 23) and Tinley Park, Illinois (Aug 25), with the Northeast finale at Jones Beach, Bethel Woods, and SPAC in late August.

The Outlaw Festival in the Pittsburgh Market
The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown has been western Pennsylvania's premier outdoor concert venue for decades, hosting everything from classic rock tours to country festivals. Its 23,000-capacity layout with covered reserved seating and a massive hillside lawn is tailor-made for the Outlaw experience. Located about 30 miles west of downtown Pittsburgh along Route 18, the venue draws fans from across the tri-state area — including nearby Wheeling, West Virginia and Steubenville, Ohio.
