The Fort Worth Stockyards hosted the iconic "Willie's Picnic" in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Willie is currently on the Country Throwdown Tour 2011 which will wrap up with the always-anticipated Willie Nelson's annual 4th of July Picnic. The long-standing Texas tradition will break new ground as it will be held outside and inside of the famed Billy Bob's Texas. Headliners at Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic & Throwdown will perform on the venue's main stage outside with many artists taking the stage indoors for a full complement of multi-talented entertainers. Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic & Throwdown is designed to provide guests a not-to-be-missed afternoon and evening of exceptional performances by artists from all musical genres, along with some unexpected jam sessions. Country Throwdown tour artists include Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Craig Campbell, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and Drake White. Willie's Picnic will feature many artists who are traditionally featured on the Willie's Picnic lineup, including Ray Price, David Allan Coe, Paula Nelson, and more. Visit Country Throwdown on the web.   This year's unique setup will feature the air-conditioned comfort of Billy Bob's opening to the landscaped beauty of Rodeo Plaza in the Stockyards. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. with the first artist taking the stage at 12 p.m. Tickets are on sale now! Ticket prices are $30 in advance/$35 at the gate, are available through www.ticketmaster.com, and through Billy Bob's box office 817-624-7117. Because of the unique inside/outside nature of this year's event, it will be the first time that "Willie's Picnic" in Fort Worth will set a ticket and headcount limit, and organizers are expecting a quick sellout.
