Tampa Bay fans hoping to see Willie Nelson at the 2020 Strawberry Festival might want to lower expectations because the Red-Headed Stranger just announced a Valentine’s Day concert at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall.

Tickets to see the 86-year-old country icon and Strawberry Festival favorite go on sale Friday, November 15 at 10 a.m. and start at $63.75.

The show is Nelson’s first appearance at Ruth Eckerd since he played the room in February 2018. Maybe he’ll inspire fans to work harder to legalize recreational marijuana.

Willie Nelson plays Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on February 14, 2020. More information is available via rutheckerdhall.com.
