Dear John,

If you can’t join us in person for Farm Aid 40 in Minneapolis, we’re bringing the spirit of the Farm Aid festival to you with our new Farm Aid 40 Watch Party Kits. Here’s what’s inside:  

• Delicious HOMEGROWN recipes
• A full day of live music streamed from the Farm Aid 40 stage
• Farm Aid bingo and trivia to test your super-fan status

Want to go all out? Order the Farm Aid 40 Ultimate Watch Party Kit by September 10, which includes everything above plus: 

• Ten organic soft Bavarian pretzels from Milwaukee Pretzel Company, our #1 selling Farm Aid HOMEGROWN concessions item 
• Ten Farm Aid 40 pins and five Farm Aid 40 stickers
• A discount code for Farm Aid 40 merch

Once you’ve got all the fixings, invite your friends, tune into our livestream and throw an epic Farm Aid 40 Watch Party. Whether you're watching solo or hosting a backyard bash, we want to hear about it! Tag your posts and photos with #FarmAid40 and #Road2FarmAid.

Everyone who registers a Farm Aid 40 Watch Party will be entered to win two tickets to Farm Aid 2026! 

As part of our Artists & Activism podcast series, we've talked with more than two dozen artists using their music and voices to stand up for causes they believe in. The following new episodes have been released. Take a listen to them and get ready for the last two episodes in this series dropping over the next two weeks!

• Episode Four: Haters Gonna Hate Allison Russell, Grace Bowers, Emily Nenni and Dylan LeBlanc zero in on a subject that has come up in all of the previous episodes – artists catching flak for taking a public stand on an issue.
   
• Episode Five: Artists on a Burning Planet Hear from Lukas Nelson, Micah Nelson and Allison Russell about their experiences with climate change at home and on the road, and what artists — and all of us — can do about it.

We're excited to welcome GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Lukas Nelson to the Farm Aid 40 lineup. Get ready for the festival by watching past performances from Lukas and other Farm Aid 40 artists. Let us know who you are looking forward to watching!
