Willie Nelson’s annual Farm Aid concert reaches its fortieth anniversary this year and it’s been confirmed this week that this year’s event will feature Nelson’s fellow co-founders, Neil Young and John Mellencamp.

The event promises a unifying message of hope in a troubled, divided time for the family farmers growing the nation's food.

Willie Nelson will bring Farm Aid to Minnesota for the first time on Sept. 20 at Huntington Bank Stadium. Tickets are priced from $390 to $101 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday via farmaid40.org.
