With the sold-out Farm Aid 2019 festival just days away, it may be a real challenge to score tickets to see Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, or Dave Mathews but it doesn’t mean that it is impossible to watch the show live on Sept. 21.

With 17 bands set to hit the stage at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, the festival promises to entertain while helping a good cause – farmers across America. The makers behind Farm Aid 2019 have made it possible for all music lovers to watch the performances these three ways:

  • Viewers can live stream the festival at Farmaid.org ,starting at 2:00 p.m. CT.
  • Fans of the concert lineup can also tune into Willie Nelson’s SiriusXM channel 59, Willie’s Roadhouse, starting at 12 p.m. CT. The live coverage will be hosted by Dallas Wayne and feature a behind-the-scenes look at the annual festival.
  • A live broadcast of the show is also available on AXS TV’s broadcast of Farm Aid 2019, starting at 6:30 p.m. CT. The broadcast will include music from the festival as well as videos that tell the stories of Wisconsin farmers. To find a local AXS TV channel visit www.axs.tv.

According to the Farm Aid 2019 website, a limited number of VIP tickets are still available and can be purchased at farmaid.org/viptickets.

“We’re honored that Wisconsin has embraced Farm Aid in this way. We are excited to bring the festival to Alpine Valley Music Theatre next month and connect with people across the region who value the power of music to bring us together, appreciate delicious family farm food and — most of all — support family farmers,” Carolyn Mugar, executive director of Farm Aid said.

The full lineup of Farm Aid 2019 includes; Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds, as well as Bonnie Raitt, Luke Combs, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Margo Price, Jamey Johnson, Tanya Tucker, Brothers Osborne, Yola, and Particle Kid. Ian Mellencamp has also been added to the lineup for his third appearance at the event.

Farm Aid, which is over 30 years old, has raised over $57 million for programs that help farmers thrive. In 2018, Farm Aid festival was held in Hartford, Connecticut.
