Farm Aid

“My soul tells me it would be wrong to risk having anyone die because they wanted to hear music and be with friends.“

After holding a virtual edition in 2020, Farm Aid will return to Hartford, Connecticut this September.

”This pandemic and so many other challenges have revealed how essential family farmers and ranchers are to the future of our planet,” Willie Nelson says.

”Farm Aid has worked for 35 years to build a family farm centered agricultural system, and we are here now to support farmers and ranchers in this crisis, without whom we could not eat,” Willie Nelson says.

The 2019 edition of Farm Aid happened on Saturday (9/21) at East Troy, Wisconsin's Alpine Valley Music Theater, the second time the event has been held in the state in its 34-year history.

"It's been 33 years and things still aren't perfect," Nelson said in a press conference before the show. "So, we'll do this until they are." Farm Aid 33 also featured Margo Price, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Dave Matthews and more.

If you can't make it to this year's Farm Aid, you can livestream performances by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and more.

Neil Young will be in the tristate area for Farm Aid (which is in Connecticut this year) and the Saratoga Springs stop of Willie Nelson's ”Outlaw” tour, and he now added an intimate NYC-area show...

The 2018 Farm Aid lineup also includes Chris Stapleton, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Margo Price, and more.
