Neil Young introduces Willie Nelson during Farm Aid at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI on Sept. 21, 2019
Willie Nelson and the Boys, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews top the lineup for Farm Aid’s virtual 2020 festivities. Performances will be streamed for free online at Farmaid.org and on AXS TV on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 8-11 p.m. EDT. As with previous installments of Farm Aid, the event is set to showcase the diversity and strength of family farmers by sharing stories from across the country.
“This pandemic and so many other challenges have revealed how essential family farmers and ranchers are to the future of our planet. Farm Aid 2020 is going to give the whole country a chance to learn about the important work of farmers and how they’re contributing to our well-being, beyond bringing us good food,” said Nelson in a statement.
Black Pumas, Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jack Johnson, Margo Price, Valerie June and many more artists are also participating in the virtual festival.
While Farm Aid 2020 is free to watch, organizers encourage fans to consider making a donation in support of Farm Aid’s mission of building a vibrant, family-farm-centered system of agriculture in America.
