The line-up for Farm Aid 2011 has been announced with Jason Mraz and Pegi Young joining the bill featuring Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews.
Neil Young, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp started Farm Aid in 1985 to help America’s farming community through hard times like volatile farm prices, tight credit markets, escalating costs and disasters.
"Farm Aid is a movement inspired not only by the passion of Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews, but also by the more than 400 artists who have donated their performances at our shows over the years," said Carolyn Mugar, executive director of Farm Aid. "This year, we are thrilled to welcome back several familiar faces to the Farm Aid stage as well as some first-timers for what is sure to be a remarkable day of music, food and inspiration."
Other acts announced today are Jamey Johnson, Jakob Dylan, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Will Dailey & the Rivals, Robert Francis, Rebecca Pidgeon, Billy Joe Shaver and John Trudell.
Farm Aid 2011 will be held on August 13 at Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
