There’s nothing as
American as fireworks,
Apple pie and
baseball. Well, actually, Willie Nelson may be. The nonagenarian country icon — who’s been on the road since the mid 1950s (!) — just announced that he’ll drop into Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion to celebrate July 4 with his Outlaw Tour co-headliners Bob Dylan and Robert Plant . Now if that’s not American, we don’t know what is. They’ll be joined by Plant’s partner in crime Alison Krauss as well as Mavis Staples , Maren Morris and Celisse at Nelson’s annual Fourth of July Picnic . It should be noted that while the concert is taking place in Camden, NJ, it’s being labeled as a Philadelphia event. In step with that sentiment, Nelson shared a statement. “I am thrilled to bring the 4th of July Picnic to Philadelphia for the first time in our storied history,” the 90-year-old said in a press release. “It’s an honor to host such an extraordinary lineup of talent in the birthplace of our country. We can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with you.” And if you want to be there for the ultimate Independence Day experience, tickets can be secured as soon as today. Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, March 29, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
