A trio of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will headline this year’s Outlaw Music Festival, which will visit the Pittsburgh area in September.

Willie Nelson & Family will be joined by Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp for this year’s festival stop, set for Sept. 14 at the Pavilion at Star Lake. Also on the bill is Tennessee soul/blues band Southern Avenue.

The trio first toured together in 2009, including a stop on July 13, 2009, at Consol Energy Park in Washington, Pa.

“This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists,” Nelson said in a release. “I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love.”

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at livenation.com, with a variety of presales beginning at 10 a.m. today.
