With nine ticket options available, the upcoming 45th annual Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic is being held in the Austin 360 Amphitheater at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack. Fans won’t want to miss this amazing gathering of talent and wonderful celebration of Independence Day! Making its return to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for its fourth year, Live Nation, C3 Presents, and COTA are producing the event which continues to be one of the most celebrated U.S. festivals.
This year’s headliners (including Nelson himself) include Sturgill Simpson, Edie Brickell, Margo Price, Lucas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Asleep at the Wheel, just to name a few, and it’s all happening in the Texas Hill Country! Arguably one of the most loved and celebrated country music singer/songwriters, Nelson wrote such hits as “Funny How Time Slips Away,” “Crazy,” and “Good Hearted Woman,” which was co-written with the late, great Waylon Jennings). These were only the start to what has become an amazingly epic career for this visionary. As a founding father of the outlaw genre in Texas in the 1970s, Nelson has also been recently recognized for his contributions to the industry in a unique exhibit now showing at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee.
