Farm Aid Returns Live!
• After hosting a virtual festival in 2020 due to the pandemic, Farm Aid 2021 returns to Hartford, CT this year, live and in-person on Saturday, Sept. 25, at Xfinity Theatre, featuring performances by Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson (& Family), John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, and Margo Price, as well as Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Bettye LaVette, Jamey Johnson, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Allison Russell, Particle Kid, and Ian Mellencamp.
“The experience of the past 18 months has reminded us how much we need each other,” said Willie, the President & Founder of Farm Aid. “I’m so glad that music is bringing us all back together at Farm Aid 2021 to celebrate family farmers. When we combine music, family farmers and good food, we have the power to grow the kind of agriculture that strengthens all of us.”
Carolyn Mugar, Farm Aid’s Executive Director, noted, “Live performances by artists who are passionate about agriculture and good food are the deep roots that sustain Farm Aid’s year-round work for family farmers. We’re thrilled that Hartford is welcoming Farm Aid back again after our successful 2018 event. We’re grateful to the management and staff at Xfinity Theatre for working hand-in-hand with us to ensure the safety of our artists, crew, volunteers, farmers and fans.”
