Working hard supporting Family Farmers since 1985

GREAT MUSIC, SUPPORTING FARMERS, AND STRENGTHENING AMERICA SINCE 1985
Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on the land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001, and Margo Price joined in 2021. Farm Aid has raised more than $70 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America.

Neil Young has announced that he will not be playing at this year’s Farm Aid in Hartford, Conn. due to COVID-19 safety concerns.
“Lots is going on in our world right now,” wrote Young on his website. “I find myself wondering whether Farm Aid will be safe for everyone with the Covid pandemic surging. I worry about that. I don’t want to let anybody down but still can’t shake the feeling that it might not be safe for everyone.
All you people who can’t go to a concert because you still don’t feel safe, I stand with you,” Young continued. “I don’t want you to see me playing and think it’s safe now. I don’t want to play until you feel safe, and it is indeed, safe. My soul tells me it would be wrong to risk having anyone die because they wanted to hear music and be with friends. No matter where you are, I am with you. Do what you must, but think it through. We will be back. There is much work to do together.”
Young also voiced his concerns about the rise of cases of the virus affecting children, “There are already too many children in hospitals.” Farm Aid is a notably family-centric festival.
Festival founder Willie Nelson, John Cougar Mellencamp and Dave Matthews are still set to perform at Farm Aid on Sept. 25. “While I respect Willie, John and Dave’s decisions to stick with it and play, I am not of the same mind. It is a tough call.”

Rock ‘N Roll legends are teaming together for a great cause on April 10, 2021 at the Greek Theatre. With your ticket purchase, you’ll be able to see Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Stephen Stills, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, Lucius, Fantastic Negrito, Chris Stills, Oliver Stills, Will Breman and emcee Jack Black, plus many special guests while giving back to Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and families.
The annual benefit show is headed by Young’s former bandmate and veteran rocker Stephen Stills (also on the bill) alongside his wife Karen. The annual event was initially scheduled to take place on May 30 but was postponed due to Covid-19. All tickets purchased for the original date will be honored.
Neil Young really needs no introduction. The rock legend has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. He’s received several Grammy and Juno Awards, and his 21 albums and singles have been certified Gold and Platinum in U.S by RIAA certification. Same goes for Willie Nelson, the most well-known artist in country music. This lineup of rock legends will be hosted by comedian and fellow rock-n-roller Jack Black, who is sure to make the night fun and interesting.
