Charity Festivals

If you like your rock with an American accent, a country twang or a bluesy rhythm, Farm Aid may just be the gig for you. What began in 1985 as yet another in a long line of the era's aid concerts has not only endured but grown to become a rural American institution. Now into its third decade and with the likes of Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews advocating the event and playing to crowds in the tens of thousands year in year out, Farm Aid's future all seems pretty rosy.
