The venue for this year’s picnic is situated just outside Philadelphia and pays homage to the birthplace of America.
“It’s an honor to host such an extraordinary lineup of talent in the birthplace of our country,” Nelson said of bringing the picnic to the City of Brotherly Love. “We can’t wait to celebrate Independence Day with you.”
The annual 4th of July picnic began in 1973 at Hurlbut Ranch in Texas and soon became a tradition in the world of music. Over the years, it has featured an array of artists including Tyler Childers, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Shakey Graves among others.
Tickets for the event are scheduled to go on sale Friday, March 29. A special pre-sale will be available for Citi cardmembers beginning on Tuesday, March 26.
