The Farm Aid [ tickets ] benefit concert will be back for yet another go-around this year, and this time it is set to take place Sept. 9 at New York City's Randall's Island.

As usual, event co-founders Willie Nelson [ tickets ], Neil Young [ tickets ] and John Mellencamp [ tickets ] will be on the bill, along with longtime supporter Dave Matthews [ tickets ]. Other acts will be announced, according to organizers.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public June 16, but members of Farm Aid [ tickets ]'s FarmYard club can purchase tickets during a pre-sale beginning July 15. Details are available at the Farm Aid website.

Nelson, Mellencamp and Young staged the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Matthews, who has appeared on several Farm Aid bills, joined the organization's board of directors in 2001.

Organizers say that Farm Aid has raised more than $30 million over its history to support family farms.

Last year's Farm Aid show took place in the Philadelphia area. In addition to the event's mainstays, it also featured appearances by Los Lonely Boys, Jerry Lee Lewis with Roy Head, Arlo Guthrie, Gov't Mule, and Steve Earle & Allison Moorer.
