Willie Nelson is bringing his annual 4th of July Picnic to Philadelphia — or, more specifically, across the bridge from Philadelphia in nearby Camden, New Jersey.
Taking place at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden on Thursday, July 4th, the all-star concert will see Willie Nelson & Family joined by Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Maren Morris, Mavis Staples, and Celisse.
A ticket pre-sale for Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic is set for Wednesday, March 27th at 10:00 a.m. Et (use code Key), with a pubic on-sale following on Friday, March 29th via Ticketmaster.
Nelson first staged his 4th of July Picnic in 1973 and has been hosting the event semi-reguarlly ever since (including two digital editions in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic). This year’s event marks the first iteration not to take place in Nelson’s native Texas since 2009.

Robert Plant has opened up about his recent struggles with songwriting, telling Rolling Stone in a recent interview that he is going through “a very difficult time” trying to write new material.
“I’ve got a group of friends that I play with over here a little bit from time to time. I’ve also been going through all that stuff that I never released and never quite got finished,” Plant said, when asked what he’s been up to since coming off the road last July. “And getting excited about it. Going, ‘Wow. What am I going to do with that?’ It’s the idioms, the visitation, the places that I’ve been musically which were not complete are just mind-boggling, and they’re a little bit overwhelming.”
He continued, “I’ve got a Tascam digital recorder, and I sing, and I put the vocals through a guitar pedal,...

Exclusive: Jack Kilmer (Palo Alto), Paris Jackson (Gringo), and Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) are in production in Atlanta on Open Wounds, an indie horror thriller from director Ronald Krauss (Gimme Shelter). Rounding out the cast of the pic are Lambert Houston (Resurrection Factor), Renata Notni (Zorro), Richie Radichi (My Best Friend’s Dead), and Jay Giannone (American Hustle).
Written by Ryan Leeder, Joshua Courtade, and Krauss, the film centers around a fading indie horror studio, its owner Jefferson (Roberts), and his nephew Caleb (Kilmer), a young horror movie obsessive and aspiring makeup f/x artist, who finally gets his “little break” when Jefferson assigns him to work on a B-list movie about a vampire (Notni). There, he encounters another makeup artist, Ginni (Jackson), with whom he feels he can share his vulnerabilities, as well as an unsupportive rival, Todd (Houston).

In 2013, writer-director Dan Krauss decided to make a documentary about the Maywand district murders during the war in Afghanistan. The atrocity had taken place during the early months of 2010, wherein a group of U.S. Army soldiers — who called themselves The Kill Team — murdered three Afghan civilians in cold blood and claimed the mutilated body parts as trophies. Krauss' documentary, titled "The Kill Team," dives into the psychological makeup of soldiers at war, the specific socio-cultural factors that contribute to callous aggression and violence, and how this brand of sociopathy culminates in tragedies like Mayward.
The documentary is, first and foremost, an exposé of the rot that grips young military men, who often delude themselves into feeling invulnerable while committing heinous crimes. However, not everyone in the platoon responsible for the Maywand murders was willing to cover up the crimes, including 21-year-old Adam Winfield, who informed his father of the first murder,...

Note: The Following contains spoilers for “Barry” Season 4, Episode 4
As “Barry” barrels towards its series finale, the HBO series takes a couple of big swings halfway through this final season. Not only does Episode 4 feature the death of a major character from the show, but it ends with a shocking time jump that jolts the story forward eight years into the future, with Barry (Bill Hader) and Sally (Sarah Goldberg) not only living together but seemingly with a son of their own.
The idea for the time jump was born out of Hader’s desire to see what would happen if all of the characters got what they wanted. “Would they be happy? Could they maintain that?” Hader told TheWrap in our latest episodic interview. Read on for plenty of insight into how Cristobal’s death came to be (and the pushback Hader received in the writers room) and the...

Robert Plant’s main job in Led Zeppelin shows was to get onstage and make sure he hit all the notes. Given the range required for many of their songs, this wasn’t always an easy task. As a result, Plant had to find ways to make singing easier for him. He said that one of his classic onstage poses was a direct result of his fear that he might miss a note.

On his podcast Digging Deep, Plant addressed the way he would arch his back while singing. He noted that singers do it to open their chest up, but he was mostly concerned that he would miss a note.
“I often did it like that because I didn’t really know whether I could hit the right peckin’ note!” he told host Matt Everitt,...

In Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant whined, crooned, howled, and wailed his way through more than one song. He performed vocal acrobatics that would be a challenge for many singers. Despite this, he said that his biggest challenge as a singer was a song he sang with Alison Krauss. He shared why the song was such a difficult task to take on.
Robert Plant | Art Zelin/Getty Images Robert Plant said there’s one song that he found most difficult to sing
In 2007, Plant and Krauss released their Grammy-winning album, Raising Sand. On it, they covered the Dillard & Clark song “Polly,” re-recorded as “Polly Come Home.” Their version was a gorgeous, slowed-down cover of the original. It was also a huge challenge for Plant.
“It’s just the most difficult piece of music to sing at the tempo that we sang it at,” he said on his podcast Digging Deep (via...

Led Zeppelin had many songs with fantastical imagery. “Immigrant Song” is a perfect example of a song that blends visions of mythology into an epic rock song. One fantasy author who influenced members of Led Zeppelin was J. R. R. Tolkien, the legendary writer of The Lord of the Rings series. Here are three Led Zeppelin songs featuring Lord of the Rings references.

“Ramble On” is a song from Led Zeppelin’s 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. Guitarist Jimmy Page and lead singer Robert Plant co-wrote the track.

Most Led Zeppelin fans don’t know that lead singer Robert Plant is also a bass player. He even played a bit on one of the band’s earlier albums! Even though the rock legend was stuck on vocals when performing with Zeppelin, he has dabbled in other instruments over the years. In 2005, he admitted he wanted to play bass for a band many have compared to the one that made him famous.

Known for playing blues rock, The Black Keys formed in 2001 in Akron, Ohio. Made up of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, the duo blew up after licensing their music for commercial use. The band caught the attention of many people in the industry, including the Led Zeppelin frontman.

In 1968, Robert Plant married Maureen Wilson. The couple remained married for the next 15 years, but their relationship eventually came to an end in 1983. While Wilson has largely stayed out of the public eye since her divorce from the Led Zeppelin singer, she has remained a fixture in his life.

Grammys 2023: Could Robert Plant and Alison Krauss win Album of the Year again for ‘Raise the Roof’?
If you skim through Album of the Year winners at the Grammys, one that you might be less familiar with is “Raising Sand,” the collaboration project between bluegrass artist Alison Krauss and rock veteran Robert Plant. With a unique take on standards, the album became an industry favorite and a critical success. Overall it swept the Grammys, winning six times over two years, including Album and Record of the Year. Now, 15 years after “Raising Sand’s” release, the duo is back in Grammy consideration with their follow-up record, “Raise the Roof.” But the question is, will the duo be a heavy hitter again at the Grammys 2023?

When I reach Robert Plant on the phone, it’s a few days before he and Alison Krauss play Glastonbury. Plant has just arrived back in England in a great mood and describes his day so far in his very Plant-like way: “It’s summer solstice — it’s magnificent,” he exclaims. “I was able to experience the very first rays of the sun this morning and the sound of a female blackbird. So it’s a wonderful day.”
