Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90, the two-day concert extravaganza celebrating Nelson’s milestone 90th birthday, is coming to cinemas. The new film will premiere in theaters on June 11, with a special encore presentation on June 13-14.

The concert will include highlights from across the two nights of shows with full performances and special guest presentations, and fans in the cinemas will be treated to an immersive experience, with a state-of-the-art cinematic presentation and pristine 5.1 stereo surround sound. Tickets for this exclusive concert event are available for purchase at willienelson90experience.com.
“Demand to attend this historic concert event was unprecedented. Willie wanted to make sure his 90th birthday party included and was accessible to all of his fans. This concert film release will allow everyone to join in and celebrate with Willie and an amazing line-up of superstar artists. We are thrilled to share this concert event with fans around the globe in such a unique and powerful way,” says Nelson’s manager Rothbaum and Keith Wortman, CEO of Blackbird Presents.
