Official details will be announced at 11 a.m. on Monday - but Willie Nelson himself let it slip.  The 25th anniversary concert of Farm Aid is headed to Miller Park in Milwaukee.

Nelson, in a radio interview, let the destination for the 2010 concert slip.  He, along with John Mellencamp and Neil Young, started the annual musical event in September of 1985 in Champaign, IL,  as a way to draw attention to the financial challenges faced by todays farms.

Nelson's involvement in agricultural issues doesn't end there.  Through Farm Aid, he's facilitated farmers going to Washington, D.C. to share their stories with elected officials.  Nelson himself is a strong biodiesel advocate with his own "BioWillie" brand in Texas.

The concert has been held from more rural locations like central Illinois to Chicago and New York city.  This would be the first time the event has been held in Wisconsin.

Tentative date - October 2nd!  You can watch the live announcement of concert details by clicking HERE!
