FarmAid: Saratoga Lineup Announced
The extended lineup for the Farm Aid 2013 concert, which will be staged at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sept. 21, was announced late Sunday.
Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews will be joined by Jack Johnson, Amos Lee, Kacey Musgraves, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Bahamas, JD & The Straight Shot, and Pegi Young & The Survivors. Matthews will be joined by guitarist Tim Reynolds.
Tickets range from $45 to $150, and will go on sale at 10am Friday through ticketmaster.com, at the SPAC Box Office, or by phone at 800-745-3000. A number of premium VIP seats, which range from $300 to $1,500, will also be available.
“The Farm Aid benefit concert takes place each year thanks to the generosity of artists who donate their talent to raise awareness about the crucial need we have for family farmers on the land,” said Carolyn Mugar, executive director of Farm Aid, in a prepared statement.
Farm Aid’s all-day music and food festival will spotlight family farm food and offer a number of hands-on activities, as well as showcase local, organic, sustainable, humanely-raised family farm ingredients.
Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $43 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms, organizers said. – See more at:
