Willie Nelson & Family will be performing at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Wednesday & Thursday, February 19 & 20, 2025 … with special guest Randall King.
With a seven-decade career, Willie has earned every conceivable award as a musician. And, he’s amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor, and activist. He continues to thrive as a relevant and progressive musical and cultural force.
In recent years, Willie has delivered more than a dozen new albums, released a Top 10 New York Times’ bestsellers book, and again headlined Farm Aid (an event he co-founded in 1985) and his annual Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic. He’s been honored by the Library of Congress with their Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and received his 5th degree black belt in Gong Kwon Yu Sul. Willie has also headlined the annual Luck Reunion food and music festival during SXSW, along with launching his cannabis companies Willie’s Reserve and Willie’s Remedy. And, he’s graced the covers of Rolling Stone and AARP The Magazine.
Throughout 2023, Willie celebrated his 90th birthday with multiple projects and events. That included a two-night, star-studded concert – Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 – that took place in April at the famed Hollywood Bowl. It was also released as a feature film in June. The year began with the debut of ‘Wille Nelson & Family’, a new five-part film documentary series directed by Thom Zimny and Oren Moverman that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. A new album, ‘I Don’t Know a Thing About Love’, which features 10 performances that pay tribute to American songwriter Harlan Howard was also released.
To top it off, on November 3, 2024, Nelson was inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
These creative endeavors, as well as new songs and performances that add to his classic catalog, find Willie rolling at an artistic peak, writing and singing and playing with the seasoned wit and wisdom that comes from the road.

Wallows is appearing at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre as part of the ‘Model & More Tour’ on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
Composed of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston – Wallows returned in 2024 with their highly anticipated third studio album, ‘Model’. The album was met by critical applause from the likes of CLASH, ROLLING STONE, and DORK. ‘Model’ includes the band’s biggest streaming debut for a single to date. And their first song to hit the Top 40 chart in “Calling After Me” as well as the singles “Your Apartment”, “You (Show Me Where My Days Went)”, “Bad Dream”, and “A Warning”.
The band’s sophomore album, ‘Tell Me That It’s Over’, was released in March 2022. ‘TMTIO’ saw Wallows continuing on their ever-evolving journey of sonic exploration, fusing a vast array of musical ideas – from lo-fi post-punk and indie-folk to early ‘90s dance-pop psychedelia – into their own one-of-a-kind creative vision.
‘TMTIO’ marked the full-length follow-up to Wallows’ hugely popular 2019 debut album, ‘Nothing Happens’. The album, which includes the 3x Platinum single “Are You Bored Yet? (feat. Clairo)”, proved to be one of that year’s highest streamed debuts. And, has since gone on to be certified Gold in the United States.
