The Red Headed Stranger has quite an Independence Day planned this year.
On Friday, July 4, Willie Nelson is headlining his annual “4th of July Picnic.” This year, the celebration is set to take place at Austin, TX’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater.
He’ll be joined by special guests Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, The Mavericks, Asleep at the Wheel and Tami Neilson. Festivities begin at 3:30 p.m.
“I’m 92-years-old and I’ll be there so you have no excuse,” Nelson said in a statement. “I look forward to bringing back my annual 4th of July Picnic to the city I love and sharing this special event with all my Austin fans.”
Last July 4, Set List FM reports the timeless singer performed a whopping 22 songs in New Jersey. Highlights included “On The Road Again,” “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die” and his Pearl Jam “Just Breathe” cover.

Pretty impressive for someone born in 1933.
“I’m not worried about [my health],” Nelson told the Associated Press. “I don’t feel bad. I don’t hurt anywhere. I don’t have any reason to worry about dying. But I don’t know anybody who’s lived forever.”
If you want to see the 12-time Grammy winner and Abbot, TX native play live in the Lone Star State’s “weirdest” city, last-minute tickets are still available.
Some are quite inexpensive, too.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we found on general admission lawn passes was $57.02 including fees.
Seats can be scooped up for as low as $107 including fees.
For more information — including details about Nelson’s star-studded, traveling ‘Outlaw Music Festival Tour’ and Farm Aid — we have everything you need to know and more below.
