Willie Nelson, Charley Crockett, Steve Earle

Luck Reunion, the bucket-list music festival held each March at Willie Nelson’s ranch in Spicewood, Texas, has announced its 2025 lineup. Along with a set by perennial headliner Nelson and his Family Band, the daylong fest will include performances by Charley Crockett, Steve Earle, Taj Mahal, Shane Smith and the Saints, Lukas Nelson, Jesse Welles, Lily Meola, and Julien Baker and Torres.

This year’s Luck is scheduled for March 13, as usual, smack dab in the middle of the music portion of the South by Southwest conference in nearby Austin. Many of the performances announced are grouped into special events. There’s a “Tribute to Kris Kristofferson” featuring Crockett, the Deslondes, Grace Bowers, Ken Pomeroy, Lizzie No, and others, presumably all interpreting the work of the songwriter who died in September.

There’s also a writer’s round-headed up by Earle that includes Emily Nenni, Tommy Prine, and Parker Twomey, as well as an “Aaron Lee Tasjan and Friends” showcase, including Tasjan, Bobby Bare Jr., Michah Nelson, Lafemmebear, Kim Richey, and more. An in-the-round lineup presented by performing-rights organization BMI includes Valley James, JD Clayton, Coleman Jennings, and Briscoe.

Other artists making the trek to the “Luck Ranch” include Aly & AJ, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Kristina Murray, JP Harris, John R. Miller, Jaime Wyatt, She Returns From War, Angel White, and Willie Carlisle. As in years past, Nelson will wrap up the evening.

“We are beyond excited to welcome our Luck Family back home to Willie’s backyard for another incredible year with this ever more important community,” said Matt Bizer, CEO and Founder of Luck Presents. “Community is the theme, and this year’s event is something we are really proud of. We are welcoming back many long-time Luck Family members, some new artists we cannot stop listening to, and more than one surprise guest!”
