Born & Raised Music Festival came to life with an idea to celebrate Outlaw, Texas and Red Dirt country music. To us, there is no better place to have it than deep in the heart of Oklahoma, the birthplace of Red Dirt," said Festival Producer Mike DuCharme of AEG Presents. "These genres are showing a resurgence right now on the music scene. People want to celebrate their roots and listen to music that reminds them where they were born and raised. When looking to kick off year one of this event we could think of nobody better than Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. to headline each day."
Presale passes for Born & Raised will be available beginning Wednesday, Feb. 12.
