FARM FRESH

Imagine Dragons are among those featured on the lineup announcement for Farm Aid 30. In addition to board members Willie Nelson (president & founder), Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews, Farm Aid's anniversary show will feature performances from Jack Johnson to Kacey Musgraves, Old Crow Medicine Show, Mavis Staples, Holly Williams, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Insects vs. Robots and Blackwood Quartet.

The event will take place in Chicago at FirstMert Bank Pavilion on 9/19. Tickets go on sale 8/3.

“We organized the first Farm Aid concert in Illinois in 1985 to respond to the people suffering during the farm crisis,” shared Nelson. “Thirty years later, in Chicago, we’ll bring together so many of the people—farmers, eaters, advocates and activists—who have made the progress of the Good Food Movement possible. At Farm Aid 30 we’ll celebrate the impact we’ve had and rally our supporters for the work ahead.”

This will be the fifth time the benefit has taken place in Illinois, including the inaugural event.
