Neil Young is set to return to the stage at the annual Farm Aid benefit concert. This news follows the cancellation of several shows by Young and his band Crazy Horse due to an unspecified illness. As a result, Young has not performed live since May.
Farm Aid 2024 will also feature performances by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Mavis Staples, Joy Oladokun, Charley Crockett, and more. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 21, in Saratoga Springs, New York. A poster for Farm Aid 2024 can be found below.
Young performed at Farm Aid last year, marking his first in-person appearance at the concert since 2019. Concerns about COVID-19 had kept him from participating in the event in 2021 and 2022.
