- Bob Dylan will perform as a late addition at Farm Aid 40, scheduled for Saturday, September 20, in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota stadium.

- The 40th anniversary Farm Aid concert in Minneapolis boasts an extensive roster of performers, including Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Kenny Chesney, Billy Strings, Wynonna, Steve Earle, Dave Matthews, and more.
- Dylan last caught audiences off guard with a brief three-song appearance alongside Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers at Farm Aid in 2023 and made a showstopper return to Minnesota with a performance in Mankato this past April.
- Farm Aid has contributed more than $85 million to support U.S. farm communities through disaster assistance and educational initiatives, and Dylan’s participation highlights his enduring commitment to independent family farmers.
