Willie Nelson’s annual Farm Aid concert reaches its fortieth anniversary this year and it’s been confirmed this week that this year’s event will feature Nelson’s fellow co-founders, Neil Young and John Mellencamp.
The festival – which switches locations each year - is being held in Minneapolis in 2025. Other confirmed artists include Dave Matthews, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, Waxahatchee, Eric Burton of Black Pumas, Jesse Welles and Madeline Edwards.
"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," Nelson said in a statement written on the festival's website.
