MINNEAPOLIS (WJON News) -- A national music festival coming to Minnesota has added three acts to its group of headliners. Farm Aid has added Kenny Chesney, Wynonna Judd, and Steve Earle to its show at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis this September. Nicknamed "The King of the Road," Chesney will bring his high-energy live performance and relatable songs to Farm Aid.
