Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Neil Young just made headlines once again with news that he will headline the 2025 Harvest Moon benefit concert on October 25 at The Painted Turtle camp near Los Angeles, a story confirmed by multiple major outlets including the San Francisco Chronicle and Consequence. This event will see Young share the stage with Beck and Lana Del Rey, forming a multigenerational lineup with high profile and philanthropic significance. Proceeds are set to go to The Painted Turtle, which gives children with serious medical challenges a summer camp experience, and to The Bridge School, the nonprofit co-founded by Neil's late wife Pegi Young to benefit children with severe speech and physical disabilities. The festival-like concert, now in its third year since launching in 2019 after Young wrapped up three decades of Bridge School concerts, will feature an afternoon of music against a California lakeside backdrop, family-friendly activities, food trucks, and a commitment to keeping crowd size intimate. Tickets, available as of this week, reportedly start at $275 for general admission and climb to $325, with premium VIP options offering stage views, exclusive lounges, and hospitality. April Tani, executive director of The Painted Turtle, highlighted the event’s spirit of hope and community, an ethos long associated with Young’s public activism.

In another recent public performance, Neil Young took the stage at Farm Aid 40 in Minneapolis on September 20, delivering Be The Rain live, a moment captured and shared widely on platforms like YouTube and music news blogs. According to Thrasher’s Wheat and video evidence, Young used his time at Farm Aid to voice pointed criticism of corporate America, emphasizing his advocacy for social responsibility and sustainable agriculture while performing alongside fellow icons Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp.

Social media has been buzzing with excitement about the Harvest Moon announcement, with posts from music fans, nonprofit supporters, and even event organizers sharing ticket info, anticipation for the stacked lineup, and nostalgic references to previous benefit concerts. Speculation about possible surprise guest collaborations at Harvest Moon has been floating in fan circles, though the only official artists named thus far are Young, Beck, and Del Rey. There are no major controversies or personal stories involving Young in the gossip press at this moment, but his ongoing commitment to musical activism and charity work continues to shape his public image and legacy. This combination of high-profile live appearances, charitable leadership, and public commentary on social issues cements Neil Young's status as an influential artist both musically and socially.
