Willie Nelson is one of the headliners for Farm Aid, which returns to Hartford Sept. 25.
The annual event is set for Sept. 25 at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford. The lineup includes Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Margo Price. The festival is a full day of music, agricultural displays, agrarian experiences and fresh food.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday at 10 a.m. Tickets range from $65 to $305 and will be available at LiveNation.com.
Last year, the festival was virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The experience of the past 18 months has reminded us how much we need each other,” said Farm Aid founder Nelson in a press release. “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.”
