[Bill Pearis]

Farm Aid has announced its 2026 edition which will happen September 26 in Virginia Beach. This will be the first time the charity festival has been in that city and tickets go on presale on Wednesday, June 10 at 10 AM Eastern, with the general on-sale starting Friday, June 12 at 10 AM.

The 2026 lineup includes Farm Aid founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young (& The Chrome Hearts) and John Mellencamp, plus Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, Mon Rovîa, I’m With Her, Amythyst Kiah, Lily Meola and Chris Pierce.

“Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too,” says Willie Nelson. “The challenges farmers face threaten their livelihoods and put all of us at risk. We’re bringing Farm Aid to Virginia to stand with the farmers and fishers who feed Hampton Roads and beyond — and to grow a food system that works for everyone.”

Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $90 million to support “programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.”

farm aid’s always a good time, even if the lineup doesn’t change much year to year. neil young and willie nelson are legends but i kinda wish they’d mix in some newer acts beyond the usual suspects. turnpike troubadours are a solid pick though, been meaning to see them live also, presale at 10 am?? like who can actually sit at their computer right then on a weekday gonna have to set 5 alarms and hope the site doesn’t crash again. last time it took me an hour to get through checkout
