Music legend Willie Nelson has just announced the lineup for his highly anticipated 4th of July Picnic, and it's a doozy. The annual concert, which is set to return to Austin this summer, will feature an incredible array of talent, including Bob Dylan, the Avett Brothers, and the Mavericks.
Nelson, who is an impressive 92 years young, is thrilled to be bringing the concert back to Austin, and he's making sure that everyone knows they have no excuse for missing it.

It's clear that Nelson is just as passionate about the concert as ever, and he's pulling out all the stops to make this year's event one to remember.
The 4th of July Picnic has a long and storied history, dating back to 1973 when Nelson first hosted the concert on his ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas. Over the years, the concert has grown and evolved, featuring a wide range of talented performers and becoming a beloved tradition for music fans of all ages.
This year's lineup is particularly exciting, with a diverse range of acts that are sure to appeal to a broad audience. Bob Dylan, a music legend in his own right, will be taking the stage, bringing his unique brand of poetic songwriting and gravelly vocals to the proceedings. The Avett Brothers, known for their high-energy live performances and catchy folk-rock sound, are also set to perform, as are the Mavericks, a genre-bending band that blends country, rock, and Latin music with ease.
But the 4th of July Picnic is about more than just the music – it's also a celebration of American independence and a chance to come together with friends and family to enjoy good food, cold drinks, and great company. Nelson is known for his down-to-earth, all-American spirit, and the concert is sure to reflect that, with plenty of opportunities to soak up the summer sun and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
With its incredible lineup, beautiful setting, and patriotic spirit, the 4th of July Picnic is an event that's not to be missed. And with Nelson himself leading the charge, it's clear that this year's concert is going to be one for the books. So mark your calendars, grab your cowboy hat and boots, and get ready to join in the fun – it's going to be a 4th of July to remember.
