Kenny Chesney will appear at this year's Farm Aid concert which takes place at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania on September 22.

"Growing up in a small town outside Knoxville, family farmers were a big part of our community," said Chesney in a statement.

"I am proud to play on the Farm Aid stage again, especially in Central Pennsylvania, where agriculture is at the heart of the community," he added.

The lineup also features Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews, who are all Farm Aid board members. Proceeds from the concert will benefit family farmers.

Chesney is currently touring behind his new album, Welcome To The Fishbowl, which hit number one upon release last month. His tour lasts through the early fall.
