Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp have announced the 40th anniversary edition of Farm Aid, and this year it moves to Minneapolis. It goes down on September 20 at Huntington Bak Stadium with sets from all three of its founding artists, plus board member Dave Matthews (with Tim Reynolds), as well as sets from Waxahatchee, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, Eric Burton (of Black Pumas), Jesse Welles, Madeline Edwards, and more TBA.
Willie Nelson says, “For 40 years, Farm Aid and our partners have stood with farmers, supporting them to stay on their land even when corporate power, bad policies and broken promises make it harder to keep going. This year, we’re proud to bring Farm Aid to Minnesota to celebrate the farmers who sustain us and to fight for a food system that works for all of us. Family farmers aren’t backing down, and neither are we.”
Tickets go on presale Wednesday (5/14) at 10 AM CDT, and the general public on-sale starts Friday (5/16) at 10 AM CDT. More info here.
