Neil Young continues his busy 2009 schedule in the autumn, with the news today that he’ll be headlining Farm Aid on October 4.

The benefit show takes place this year – its ninth – in St Louis, Missouri, at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Maryland Heights. Joining Young on the bill will be three more staunch Farm Aid supporters, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp.
