As always, this year's show is set to feature performances by Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews.

Nelson and Mellencamp generally play Farm Aid with their constant backing bands. Young, on the other hand, has played solo acoustic, with Crazy Horse, with small combos and larger ensembles in the past. Although he's been working with Crazy Horse lately, there's no word as to who he will perform with at this year's event.

Similarly, Matthews has played with the Dave Matthews Band, but also with his acoustic duo with Tim Reynolds, and also solo acoustic. No announcement has been made yet about Matthews' specific performance, either. - more on this story
