Willie Nelson announces new tour dates, coming to Durham

Country legend Willie Nelson has announced some new tour dates that will bring him back to the Triangle with his band in early 2013.

Nelson will play his third show at the Durham Performing Arts Center (the previous two shows sold out) on Friday, January 18. Willie's son Lukas Nelson will open. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 17 via the venue box office and Ticketmaster for $51 to $78.50.
