Farm Aid 40 Expands Lineup, Raises $85 Million

Farm Aid's 40th anniversary concert is scheduled for September 20, 2025, at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, marking the festival's Minnesota debut. Kenny Chesney, Wynonna Judd, and Steve Earle have joined a lineup that also includes Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Margo Price, Billy Strings, and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. This will be Chesney's only 2025 concert outside his Las Vegas Sphere residency and his fourth Farm Aid appearance, while Earle marks his ninth. Founded in 1985 by Nelson, Mellencamp, and Young, Farm Aid has now raised over $85 million to support American family farmers. Organizers have highlighted the artists' generosity in donating their time to the cause. Tickets for the event are on sale, ranging from $113 to $437.
