Wilco, Jason Mraz, Phosphorescent Added to Farm Aid Lineup

For 29 years, music-and-food fest Farm Aid has been raising money and awareness for America's farmers. This year's concert, held in Maryland Heights, Mo. on Oct. 4, is shaping up to be quite an addition to the festival's rich history.

Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews (to be accompanied by buddy Tim Reynolds) have been long-slated to perform. It was announced recently, however, that Wilco, Jamey Johnson, recent Matthews opener Jason Mraz and Nelson super-fans Phosphorescent have all been added to the lineup, with more acts to be revealed soon.

Tickets for Farm Aid go on sale July 25 via Live Nation.
