One of the largest music festivals in the country is returning to Indianapolis for the first time in 22 years, and music lovers all around are ready! Farm Aid is an annual music festival that changes its location around the country every year, and this year’s event expects to host 20,000 fans on September 23 at Ruoff Music Center (Deer Creek to all you older fans). Started in 1985 by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp to support farm families across the nation, Farm Aid has raised more than $70 million through its amazing lineup of artists, and this year is no exception!
Lukas Nelson
As with every Farm Aid since its inception, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp will
headline the show as the Board of Directors for the charity. In typical fashion, Willie will bring
along two of his sons, Lukas Nelson and Micah (who goes by his stage name, Particle Kid) as
performers this year. Lukas has established himself as one of the hottest names in emerging
countries and he is sure to join his brother Micah in performing a few songs with their father.
Native Hoosier John Mellencamp returns to his home state this year and fans can’t wait to hear his small-town songs we all know so well. Rounding out the headliners, Neil Young returns to Farm Aid this year after a brief hiatus following the pandemic, and his return to the stage will officially bring back the original three Board of Directors. Don’t think for a second that these are the only notable performers, as the list continues on with Farm Aid 2023 bringing an array of incredible talent together to support farms all across the country.
Joining the Board of Directors in 2001, legendary musician Dave Matthews will once again perform at this year’s Farm Aid, alongside his lead guitarist Tim Reynolds, bringing along his massive fan base to not only hear some great music, but also raise money for a great cause. Speaking of legendary musicians, Bob Weir, one of the Grateful Dead’s founding members, will be accompanied by his band Wolf Bros. this year, much to the excitement of all the Deadheads out there.
Two fantastic female singers will be joining the festivities in 2023. The great Margo Price will cover the country music scene, with the award-winning Allison Russell bringing her own beautiful Americana Roots style out to the festival this year.
Wrapping up the impressive list of notable performers will be Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, with Rateliff as the well-known and praised lead singer, and the String Cheese Incident, a fantastic band formed all the way back in 1993 in the ski towns of Colorado.
Farm Aid 2023 as always will be a can’t miss festival with performers covering genres for all music lovers and a great day of supporting farms and farming families across the nation. We hope to see you out there for some amazing music and supporting the livelihood of the agriculture industry!
