Get tickets to Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Robert Plant’s July 4 Picnic

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.
