Farm Aid will celebrate its 40th anniversary on September 20th, 2025 in Minneapolis with headliners/board members Willie Nelson & Family, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, and Margo Price. The agricultural benefit will make its Minnesota debut at Huntington Bank Stadium, the 50,805-capacity home of the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers Big Ten football team.
Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Trampled By Turtles, Waxahatchee, Eric Burton (Black Pumas), viral singer-songwriter Jesse Welles, and Madeline Edwards will join Farm Aid 2025, with more artists to be announced. This year’s festival will mark a full circle moment for Neil Young’s backing band the Chrome Hearts, which made a surprise debut at last year’s Farm Aid in Saratoga Springs, NY.
“For 40 years, Farm Aid and our partners have stood with farmers, supporting them to stay on their land even when corporate power, bad policies and broken promises make it harder to keep going,” Nelson said in a statement. “This year, we’re proud to bring Farm Aid to Minnesota to celebrate the farmers who sustain us and to fight for a food system that works for all of us. Family farmers aren’t backing down, and neither are we.”
