A pair of fabulous package tours are heading to Shoreline Amphitheatre.

First up at the Mountain View venue is the Outlaw Music Festival Tour on Saturday, Aug. 3.

Country music’s No. 1 living legend — Willie Nelson — once again headlines this trek. So, that means fans will likely get to hear such country classics as “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” and “On the Road Again.”

Nelson is joined by another first-tier music legend — Bob Dylan, aka, one of the most widely celebrated songwriters in all of music history — as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp. Rounding out the bill is rising country star Brittney Spencer.

Details: 5:30 p.m.; tickets start at $51 (subject to change), livenation.com. The tour also hits Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland on Aug. 4.

Following Nelson and company, Shoreline Amphitheatre will welcome the Triple Moon Tour on Wednesday, Aug. 7. Multiplatinum rock-pop star Alanis Morissette — known for such smashes as “Hand in My Pocket,” “Ironic,” “You Learn,” “Thank U” and, of course, “You Oughta Know” — headlines the show.

Morissette is joined on the bill by the one and only Joan Jett, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, as well as Morgan Wade, whose two studio albums — 2021’s “Reckless” and 2023’s “Psychopath” — rank among the finest full-length country platters of this decade.

Details: 7 p.m.; tickets start at $32 (subject to change); livenation.com.
