Farm Aid 2021
Farm Aid 2021 will be an in-person festival on September 25 in Hartford, Connecticut!
Farm Aid’s annual festival is an all-day celebration of music and family farmers featuring a unique lineup of artists and genres, along with family farm-identified, local and organic foods as part of our HOMEGROWN Concessions®.
Farm Aid 2021 will be at Xfinity Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut, marking the second time that Farm Aid has brought its music and food festival to the venue.
“The experience of the past 18 months has reminded us how much we need each other. I’m so glad we can come together again at Farm Aid 2021. When we combine music, family farmers and good food, we have the power to grow the kind of agriculture that strengthens all of us.” — Willie Nelson

An Update from Sturgill Simpson
We are sad to deliver this news from Sturgill Simpson’s team, and wish him a speedy recovery:
“Having lost his voice, Sturgill Simpson remains at home recuperating, so he’ll unfortunately be unable to perform at Farm Aid on Saturday.”
