Willie Nelson & Family and Alison Krauss are playing a series of concerts together this spring, including a May 20 date at Verizon Amphitheatre.

Tickets for the show are $30-$125 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 23 via www.livenation.com and the venue box office.

Nelson performed in Atlanta in October with a show at Chastain Amphitheatre. Last month, the country music icon was forced to cancel a series of concerts after experiencing breathing issues and is staying off the road in February as well.

His new album, “Last Man Standing,” is due April 27.

Krauss also performed at Chastain last fall, sharing the bill with David Gray . Her latest solo album, "Windy City," arrived last year.
