We found cheap last-minute Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic tickets
The Red Headed Stranger has quite an Independence Day planned this year.
On Friday, July 4, Willie Nelson is headlining his annual '4th of July Picnic.' This year, the celebration is set to take place at Austin, TX's Germania Insurance Amphitheater.
He'll be joined by special guests Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, The Mavericks, Asleep at the Wheel and Tami Neilson. Festivities begin at 3:30 p.m.
'I'm 92-years-old and I'll be there so you have no excuse,' Nelson said in a statement. 'I look forward to bringing back my annual 4th of July Picnic to the city I love and sharing this special event with all my Austin fans.'
Last July 4, Set List FM reports the 'On The Road Again' singer performed a whopping 22 songs in New Jersey. Highlights included 'Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,' 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' and his Hank Williams 'I Saw The Light' cover.
Pretty impressive for someone born in 1933.
'I'm not worried about [my health],' Nelson told the Associated Press. 'I don't feel bad. I don't hurt anywhere. I don't have any reason to worry about dying. But I don't know anybody who's lived forever.'
If you want to see the 12-time Grammy winner and Abbot, TX native play live in the Lone Star State's 'weirdest' city, last-minute tickets are still available.
Some are quite inexpensive, too.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we found on general admission lawn passes was $57.02 including fees.
Seats can be scooped up for as low as $107 including fees.
For more information — including details about Nelson's star-studded, traveling 'Outlaw Music Festival Tour' and Farm Aid — we have everything you need to know and more below.

How much are the cheapest tickets to see ‘Mamma Mia' on Broadway?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. 'Mamma Mia,' here we go again. Following the final curtain call on the popular jukebox musical's initial Broadway run in October 2013, ABBA's beloved stage show about a daughter's journey to unearth her father's identity dating back to a Greek vacation her mom took two decades prior, has returned to the Great White Way's Winter Garden Theatre for a six-month stint from now until Feb. 1, 2026. As always, the production includes classic songs including 'Dancing Queen,' 'Money, Money, Money,' 'The Winner Takes It All' and 'Take A Chance On Me' among other iconic tracks from the Swedish pop hitmakers' expansive back catalog. Taking the stage this time around are stars Christine Sherrill, who's stepping in the role as Donna Sheridan, Amy Weaver (Sophie Sheridan) and Carly Sakolove (Rosie). And, they're already receiving rave reviews. 'Audiences certainly won't be able to resist Christine Sherrill, the fabulous actress playing Donna. She's among the most memorable to take on the part,' The New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski raved. '…Sherrill has the flighty fun and smile of Goldie Hawn in 'Overboard.' So, her pathos sneaks up on us quite powerfully during 'Slipping Through My Fingers' and the 11 O'clock 'Winner Takes It All.' [She] bats the ballad right outta the park.' Oleksinski adds Weaver is 'as sweet as ever' and Sherrill's gal pals 'breathe new life into well-worn gags.' Sound like the breezy musical you need in your life? If so, tickets are available for all upcoming 'Mamma Mia!' performances. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one production was $122 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $123 to $333 including fees. Not in New York? No worries. The popular show is also running overseas at London, GB's Novello Theatre as well.

Plans for new La Fiesta de Elgin parade canceled by lack of entries
Plans for a La Fiesta de Elgin parade have been scrapped because too few people signed up to participate, but that won't stop them from trying again next year, organizers said. This year, they will return to the traditional caravan of cars, an event that has been held in past Elgin celebrations of Mexican Independence Day. La Fiesta de Elgin also will offer the traditional elements of live music, food vendors, a market and fireworks when it's held Saturday, Sept. 13. Making the jump from a caravan to parade proved more difficult than anticipated, according to Elgin City Councilman Anthony Ortiz. Friends of Masons organized the first caravan five years ago and approached the city last year about replacing it with a downtown parade, similar to the one held for the Fourth of July but as a gathering that would put the spotlight on Hispanic culture, Ortiz said. While a committee started putting plans together for the event in January, it became clear in the last few weeks that they would not have enough entries to pull it off, he said. 'It's our first year doing it. People just didn't know about it,' Oritz said. 'We have to go back to the drawing board and educate the community, tell them we are doing a parade and get them to sign up.' Ortiz said he hopes the event will make its debut next year and become another part of the day-long celebration, but until then the caravan will remain one of the main La Fiesta activities organized by the city in partnership with Centro de Informacion, Epic Real Estate Group, Elgin State Bank and Friends of Masons, he said. And attendees this year can look forward to an expanded La Fiesta de Elgin Mercado, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Riverside Drive. The street market will have Hispanic-owned businesses, live music, a car show and family-friendly activities, organizers said. Hours for the free evening festival will be 5 to 11 p.m. at downtown Festival Park, where a large replica of Mexico City's Angel of Independence will be on display and family activities, like a piñata smash, will be held. Bands slated to perform this year are Los Yaguarú, Estilo Al Norte, Sonora Dinamita and Banda Los Sebastianes. DJ Eddy P will serve as MC and be spinning tunes between sets. The celebration also will include El Grito, the traditional call for Mexico's independence, and will end with fireworks. As for the caravan, it is set to start at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Slade and Douglas avenues and end on Highland Avenue. Additional festival details can be found at

Some Backstreet Boys Sphere ticket prices are dropping. Get them now
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Oh, my God, prices are going down again. For the first time in weeks, Backstreet Boys Las Vegas Sphere 'Into The Millennium' residency ticket prices have dropped. A week ago, prices to see Nick, AJ, Howie, Kevin, Brian from Aug. 15-17 started at $561 including fees on Vivid Seats, according to The Post's story reporting how much it cost to see the beloved boy band live in Sin City. Advertisement Now, just seven days later, some seats can be snagged for as low as $509.50 including fees. For those without a calculator on hand, that's $51.50 or roughly the price of a 'We're Back Again' T-shirt at the merch table. In the event you're on the fence about attending — to be fair, prices are still quite expensive — be aware that the beloved boy band puts on a truly unforgettable live show. 'Highlights of the evening at the over-the-top venue included one moment when the gigantic screen showed the men etched in the side of a mountain during 'Siberia,' and another when they rose high above the crowd on a [space] ship singing [their] signature song 'I Want It That Way.' It was the perfect blend of spectacle and heart,' Billboard raved. Advertisement Based on our findings at Set List FM, the quintet typically perform 25 songs at all shows, including 1999's 'Millennium' in its entirety, although not necessarily in order. As hinted at above, pearl-clutching visuals include a UFO-like flying spaceship, 360-degree wraparound visuals, a platform BSBs sing on that towers over the crowd and a catwalk where they get a bit closer to the BSB Army.
