The tour is scheduled for a July 2 date in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

That will be followed by the Camden show, Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic, at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the city's Waterfront.

The tour began June 21, but Nelson before this weekend missed the first five shows in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and upstate New York.

A Facebook post on June 21 said Nelson "is not feeling well and, per doctor's orders, has been advised to rest for the next four days."

Nelson is the headliner for the all-star show, which includes Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Mavis Staples and others.

The tour is scheduled to end Sept. 20 with a performance in New Hampshire.
