Luck Reunion Returns to Willie Nelson’s Ranch With St. Vincent, Booker T. Jones and More
The one-day festival in Spicewood will feature more than 45 performances in March
On a stretch of Texas Hill Country land built to resemble an Old West town, music once again will echo through the chapel, spill out of the saloon and drift across dusty outdoor stages.
Luck Presents has announced the lineup for the 14th annual Luck Reunion, returning Thursday, March 19, to Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch in Spicewood. The one-day festival will feature more than 45 performances spanning country, Americana, indie rock and folk.
Headliners include Willie Nelson and Family, St. Vincent, Lukas Nelson, Booker T. Jones, Trampled by Turtles, Ghostland Observatory, James McMurtry and Dale Watson, along with Adrian Quesada’s Trio Asesino and dozens more.
Unlike traditional festivals, Luck Reunion unfolds across the weathered Western sets of Luck, Texas — the film set Nelson built in the 1980s — creating what organizers describe as an intimate, immersive experience. Performances pop up inside the chapel and saloon and across outdoor stages, with fans moving between spaces that feel more like a backlot than a festival field.
14 years of Luck
“We’re thrilled to welcome our Luck Family back home to Willie’s backyard for another incredible year,” said Matt Bizer, CEO and Founder of Luck Presents. “Fourteen years in, Luck Reunion continues to be about bringing people together in meaningful ways.”
Beyond the headliners, this year’s bill stretches from established singer-songwriters to rising regional acts, including Anna Tivel, Joshua Ray Walker, Kaitlin Butts, Dylan LeBlanc, Folk Uke and Susto Stringband. Special showcases such as the Redbird Songwriters Showcase and BMI Writers in the Round will highlight collaborative sets, while the Luck Family Jam with Carrie Rodriguez & the Best of Luck Band nods to the gathering’s communal roots.
In addition to live music, the event will feature culinary experiences, local artisans, limited merchandise and a slate of talks, workshops and interactive activities led by musicians, scientists and other experts. Organizers also teased surprise guests, with additional details expected in the coming weeks.
Potluck returns as culinary kickoff
Two days before the main event, Luck Presents will host the 11th annual Potluck on Tuesday, March 17, at Luck Ranch.
The benefit dinner gathers about 300 guests for a family-style meal at communal tables, crafted with ingredients from local family farms and guided by Luck Chef Ambassador Michael Fojtasek of Olamaie and Maie Day. Participating chefs will be announced soon. Following dinner, guests will enjoy a live performance from Willie Nelson & Family.
Proceeds support the Luck Family Foundation, which focuses on food education, access and agricultural resilience through partnerships with organizations including Farm Aid and the Texas Food & Wine Alliance.
A tribute to Todd Snider
Luck Presents will also host a special Todd Snider Rules! Tribute on Friday, March 20, at Luck Ranch. The multi-artist tribute, held in partnership with Snider’s family, will honor the songwriting visionary in the Texas Hill Country, where his ties run deep. The lineup will be announced soon. A limited number of presale tickets will be available Thursday, Feb. 19.
