That’s when Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90, a two-hour-plus concert film showcasing highlights from the two-day event, will open in limited theatrical release.
The musical lineup at the Hollywood Bowl jamboree included guests such as George Strait, Miranda Lambert, Keith Richards, Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Sheryl Crow, Bobby Weir, Dave Matthews, Rosanne Cash, Billy Strings, and Margo Price, and featured on-stage appearances and special tributes by Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Ethan Hawke, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, and other notables.
Mark Rothbaum, Nelson’s manager, and Keith Wortman, CEO of Blackbird Presents, announced in a joint statement: “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.”
