In 1985, Willy Nelson and some of his songwriting buddies got the idea to promote a benefit concert aimed at raising funds to help family farmers who were facing foreclosure. Now, almost 25 years later, Farm Aid is still going strong, and this year it takes place at the Comcast Center. This year's lineup will feature performances by the Dave Matthews Band, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, and of course, Willy Nelson.
