We all love a good picnic on the fourth of July. But of course, when Willie Nelson throws his annual fourth of July picnic, the whole world is invited.

It's become a country music (and more) tradition and this year the Red Headed Stranger is bringing the event back to his home turf.

(AP) - Willie Nelson is bringing back his Fourth of July Picnic to Austin, Texas, for the first time in five years.

Beside Nelson, the performers include Eric Church, Merle Haggard, Kacey Musgraves, Asleep At The Wheel, Jamey Johnson, Leon Russell and Billie Joe Shaver.
