Willie Nelson’s 4th Of July Picnic Goes Virtual: Epic Hybrid Concert Film


Willie Nelson Show Poster For Picnic 2020

As we settle into the new era of live streams and digital music, it seems that establishment artists are not going to be left behind.


A yearly event known to many, Luck Productions was all set to host the 47th annual Picnic concert. It seems that fate had other ideas. While the many sweaty Texan hippies and extended family members won’t be crowding into Willie’s ranch in Luck, TX this summer, the man himself will be performing alongside his band from his nearby recording facility, Pedernales Studios.

In addition to Willie, performers will include the likes of Sheryl Crow, Ziggy Marley, Margo Price, Steve Earle, and Kurt Vile.
