”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.
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 was a night of confetti, balloons, rainbow unicorns and psychedelic rock. Watch pro-shot video of The Flaming Lips and The Claypool Lennon Delirium's sets.
Our presale for the Flaming Lips / Claypool Lennon Delirium show at Stone Pony SummerStage runs from Wednesday (4/24) at 10 AM to Thursday (4/25) at 10 PM.
It's a double dose of technicolor psychedelic pop as The Flaming Lips and The Claypool Lennon Delirium will be on tour together this summer with Particle Kid on the bill as well.
The 2019 edition of Willie Nelson's travelling festival includes Phil Lesh & Friends, The Avett Brothers, Alison Krauss, The Revivalists, Counting Crows, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Old Crow Medicine Show, Dawes, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and more.
"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.
