Administration officials have confirmed that talks are under way which could result in country music legend Willie Nelson headlining a spring time concert on the lower yard at S.Q. in March of 2010.

Sam Robinson acknowledged that discussions with Nelson and other entertainers have been ongoing for some time.
In addition to Nelson, representatives for guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana and former Who front man Roger Daltrey have also expressed interest in performing at what has been tentatively slated as a tribute performance to the late Johnny Cash.
