Willie Nelson is parking his legendary Fourth of July Picnic back at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater at Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, July 4, lining up a daylong music marathon capped with a fireworks show over the track. This year, the Austin staple also slides into the spotlight of national 250th-anniversary programming, giving the Picnic a little extra red-white-and-blue swagger.
Willie Nelson & Family top a stacked lineup that also features Billy Strings, Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Margo Price, Rodney Crowell, Lukas Nelson, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Lily Meola, as listed on Willie Nelson’s Official Site. The show is set to run from afternoon into the night at Germania Insurance Amphitheater, with a fireworks finale on the books, according to Live Nation.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, which is listing both general-admission and VIP options for the July 4 date. Local coverage has pegged entry-level tickets at about $71, according to KXAN.
