American country-musician Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch has announced its fall-themed event called Lucktoberfest, slated to take place in October this year. The event series will stretch across ten days, and feature artists like Tanya Tucker, Los Lobos, Fantastic Negrito, and Orville Peck, among others.
The event will be hosted at Willie Nelson’s property, located just outside of Austin.
A press statement about the event noted:
“Not unlike Willie himself, Texas prides itself on bringing all walks of life together — from honky-tonk hooplas to traditional Mexican celebrations — and Lucktoberfest will take that all to the next level.”
Tickets for the full run will be available at a price of $100 via the official website of Lucktoberfest from July 21, 2022. Daily passes for the fest will be available for $35 from 10.00 AM CST, July 25.
