MILWAUKEE, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Kenny Chesney, Norah Jones, Jason Mraz and Jeff Tweedy have joined the lineup for Farm Aid's 25th anniversary music and food festival in Milwaukee.
Also added to the bill are Band of Horses, The BoDeans, Amos Lee and Robert Francis, organizers said Wednesday.
Previously announced performers for "Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America" include Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews.
The event is to take place Oct. 2 at Miller Park in Milwaukee. The show will be broadcast live on DirecTV.
"The all-day festival will be a celebration of music, family farmers and good food and will again feature Homegrown concessions -- family farm-identified, local and organic foods. Farm Aid's Homegrown Village will showcase hands-on activities that give concertgoers a chance to meet farmers, get their hands dirty and learn how family farmers are protecting our land and water and connecting us to our roots," Farm Aid organizers said in a news release Wednesday.
