Willie Nelson's iconic Fourth of July Picnic is set to make a historic move from Texas to the Philadelphia area this year. The legendary country music event, which has been a staple in Texas for the past 50 years, will take place for the first time in the Northeast at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.
The star-studded lineup for the event includes music legends such as Bob Dylan and the duo of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Other notable performers scheduled to take the stage are Mavis Staples, Maren Morris, and Celisse. This exciting lineup promises a memorable experience for all attendees.
The decision to move the Fourth of July Picnic to the Philadelphia area marks a significant shift from its traditional Texas roots. Over the years, the event has ventured outside of Texas to cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City; Atlanta, and South Bend, Indiana. However, it has predominantly been held in Austin for the past decade.
Despite turning 90, Willie Nelson shows no signs of slowing down his music career. With a career spanning over six decades, Nelson continues to tour, record, and perform with unwavering passion. His recent accolades include birthday tribute concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
For fans eager to be part of this historic event, tickets for the Fourth of July Picnic at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion will go on sale this Friday. This move to the Philadelphia area is sure to bring a new energy and excitement to the beloved music festival, making it a must-see event for music enthusiasts across the region.
