I'm so happy about these additions.

In Farm Aid '98 I saw Phish at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, Il, now in their place you get Widespread Panic. Now I'm a bigger Phish phan, but Panic are still a good addition.

I've seen Emmylou Harris at a previous Farm Aid where she performed a mini set with her sometime producer/lover Daniel Lanois, I'm hoping this time she sings with Neil Young or at very least Willie Nelson.

I've seen Arlo Guthrie at two Farm Aids and it would be amazing to see Arlo play a song by his father (Woody) with Wilco!

I don't have much of an opinion on John Mayer, but if it is his trio with Pino Palladino on bass and Steve Jordan on drums then it should be interesting.

Now where's Bob Dylan?

Here is the updated lineup:

Willie Nelson

Neil Young

John Mellencamp

Buddy Guy

Emmylou Harris
