Farm Aid 40th Anniversary Returns in Minnesota

Farm Aid will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a concert on September 20, 2025, at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, marking its first event in Minnesota. The lineup features founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young with the Chrome Hearts, and John Mellencamp, plus Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, Waxahatchee, and others yet to be announced. Inspired by Bob Dylan's 1985 Live Aid remarks, Farm Aid has raised over $85 million to support family farmers, promote sustainable agriculture, and strengthen rural communities. The festival will include food from family farms, educational exhibits, and discussions on farm-related issues such as corporate consolidation, climate change, and agricultural policy. Organizers stress the continued need to support resilient food systems and farmers facing economic and environmental pressures. Tickets go on sale May 16, with prices from $101 to $390.
