Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Neil Young is riding another high-profile wave in early September 2025, with a week bursting with headline moments thanks to his ongoing Love Earth tour and a pointed new protest single. Crowds in Vancouver are bracing against the September drizzle for back-to-back sold-out Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts concerts at Deer Lake Park on September 6 and 8, marking the long-awaited fulfillment of dates previously postponed. The open-air format has fans scouring picnic blankets while food trucks ring the site, all strict about bag sizes, water bottles, and no chairs beyond ground-level seats, per Vancouver Is Awesome. Tickets for the second show vanished quickly, underscoring Neil’s continued live pull despite six decades in the game.

Beyond sheer fan nostalgia, there’s been fresh Neil Young music making waves too. On August 27, Young debuted the blistering protest song Big Crime in Chicago before quickly releasing it on his Neil Young Archives and YouTube. ABC Audio describes the track as a broadside against Donald Trump and what Young refers to as fascist rules and “big crime in DC,” culminating in repeated jabs at Trump’s “Make America Great Again” catchphrase. The timing is classic Neil—dropping a searing critique as America ramps up for another presidential showdown.

On the musical front, a big nostalgia moment came Labor Day night near Denver when Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts revived Only Love Can Break Your Heart for the first time onstage since 2019. Live For Live Music and JamBase both hailed it as a major setlist bust-out, joining other long-dormant gems like This Note’s For You and even The Loner from his 1968 debut. The band’s presence—featuring mainstays like Micah Nelson alongside Muscle Shoals veteran Spooner Oldham—has broadened setlists and rekindled classics, including fresh runs through Southern Man, Ohio, and the closer Hey Hey, My My.

The tour’s final burst is fast approaching, winding through major cities with a Hollywood Bowl finale set for September 15, as detailed by Discover Los Angeles. In the social sphere, Neil’s fresh protest single has made the rounds, while his live return to fan-favorite catalogs is getting thousands of shares from concert videos and positive coverage across music news sites and YouTube concert channels. While some tribute bands and event pages are still riding on his legacy, all eyes are on the man himself as he manages, yet again, to make both old protest anthems and new ones essential listening. No significant unconfirmed rumors or wild speculation have emerged, with all developments traced to concert news, mainstream music media, and official releases in these past days.
