Willie Nelson to celebrate 90th birthday with Los Angeles concerts during Stagecoach

Country icon Willie Nelson will celebrate his 90th birthday April 29-30 with a glitzy concert at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Margo Price, Norah Jones, Neil Young, Snoop Dogg, Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and more.

The two-day celebration is scheduled the same weekend as the Stagecoach country music festival, on April 28-30, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Sunday headliner Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers will also perform at Nelson's birthday concert.

Promoter Blackbird Presents said in a statement the show will feature "once-in-a-lifetime performances and unforgettable collaborations."

Many artists and bands have wished Nelson a happy birthday while performing at Stagecoach in previous years.

Nelson last performed at Stagecoach on his birthday in 2017. He waited in his bus, parked right up to the back of the Palomino stage, until about 30 minutes after his show was supposed to start. Then he and his guests, including his son, singer-guitarist Lucas Nelson, disembarked and were greeted by a crowd of friends, who had gifts and a chocolate, guitar-shaped cake waiting for him. Willie blew out a candle on the cake and walked on stage in front of a full house clamoring to celebrate his birthday.

In honor of Nelson's 85th birthday the following year, Lukas Nelson dedicated his Sunday afternoon Palomino set to his father.
