Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, April 15 at 10 a.m. at Q2STADIUM.com.
“Q2 Stadium is quickly becoming a host for the biggest parties in Austin, and there’s no one better to kick off our first ever concert than with the one and only living legend, and a local to Austinites, Willie Nelson,” said Austin FC Minister of Culture, Matthew McConaughey.
“We can’t think of a better first concert for Q2 Stadium than Willie Nelson & Family,” said Austin FC President Andy Loughnane. “Willie is an iconic local artist and we look forward to celebrating the Fourth of July holiday at Q2 Stadium.”Â
