If you missed country music legend Willie Nelson’s epic two-evening birthday bash at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on April 29-30, the star-studded event was filmed and is premiering in select theaters on Sunday, June 11 with encore screenings on Tuesday, June 13 and Wednesday, June 14.
“Demand to attend this historic concert event was unprecedented. Willie wanted to make sure his 90th birthday party included and was accessible to all of his fans. This concert film release will allow everyone to join in and celebrate with Willie and an amazing lineup of superstar artists,” Nelson’s manager Mark Rothbaum and Keith Wortman, CEO of Blackbird Presents said in a press release.
The film will be a condensed two-hour version of the actual event, meaning several of the acts that performed live won’t be making the cut. However, a press release for the movie said that it would feature the birthday boy, along with Keith Richards, Snoop Dogg, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, The Lumineers, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson and Billy Strings along with others.
Nelson was of course joined by several others including Bobby Weir, Rosanne Cash, Shooter Jennings, Lukas Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, The Avett Brothers, Tom Jones, Tyler Childers, Ziggy Marley, Charley Crockett and more.
There were also numerous special guest presenters including Chelsea Handler, Ethan Hawke, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson.
