Farm Aid has announced that its annual festival is heading to Virginia Beach for the first time on Saturday, September 26.
The festival, held at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater, will feature performances by Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young (& The Chrome Hearts), John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews (& Tim Reynolds), Margo Price and 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 are also set to perform at the festival. "Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too," said Farm Aid Founder 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."
Fans attending the festival will get to experience farmers' contributions firsthand with HOMEGROWN Concessions, which offers a delicious and fresh menu with ingredients that are grown or raised by farmers who use ecological practices and are paid a fair price.
Tickets for Farm Aid 2026 go on sale to the public Friday, June 12, at 10 a.m. ET, at www.FarmAid.org/2026.
