John Mellencamp takes next Farm Aid to New England

| | Comments (0)
For the first time, a Farm Aid concert will be taking place in New England. John Mellencamp will be bringing the annual big-ticket fundraiser to the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Mass. on Sept. 20 this year. Says the man formerly known as Couger: “New England was built on the strength of independent family farmers. We can honor that independent spirit by joining Farm Aid to grow the movement that is changing the way all of America eats.”
Joining him will be music legends Neil Young and Willie Nelson, as well as Dave Matthews, minus his eponymous band. Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $30 million to expand the "Good Food" movement and promote food from local and family farms. Tickets go on sale on July 28 via Ticketmaster.
