By Scott Bernstein Jul 28, 2015 • 6:30 am PDT
Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Dave Matthews will each perform with Tim Reynolds joining Matthews for his set. Imagine Dragons, Jack Johnson, Kacey Musgraves, Mavis Staples, Old Crow Medicine Show, Holly Williams, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Insects vs Robots and Blackwood Quartet round out the initial lineup.
“We organized the first Farm Aid concert in Illinois in 1985 to respond to the people suffering during the Farm Crisis,” said Farm Aid President and Founder Willie 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.”
Tickets for Farm Aid 30 will go on sale Monday, August 3, at 10 a.m. CT. A live webcast will be available for those who can’t attend in person.
