Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Neil Young is in the midst of a major resurgence, making headlines across music and culture with the high-profile launch of his 2025 Love Earth World Tour. The tour has already made waves in Europe, with stops in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, before closing out the leg in Stuttgart, Germany. Now, with palpable anticipation, Young is bringing the show stateside, kicking things off August 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and weaving through a packed itinerary featuring stops in Richmond, Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Denver, and wrapping in Minneapolis on September 20.
A major talking point is his new backing band, the Chrome Hearts — a fresh lineup comprised of Farfisa organ legend Spooner Oldham, guitarist and vocalist Micah Nelson, bassist and vocalist Corey McCormick, and drummer Anthony LoGerfo. This is Young’s first full tour without Crazy Horse in decades, signaling a period of creative renewal. According to multiple industry sources, fans can expect a mix of hits, deep cuts, and the debut of “Big Change,” the lead single from an as-yet-unannounced studio album recorded with producers Lou Adler and John Hanlon. The album is rumored to drop later this year, and industry insiders are speculating on a return to Young’s sometimes contrary blend of raw rock, political edge, and heartfelt folk, but no official release date or details have been confirmed.
Tickets for these shows have been hot commodities, with pre-sales through Neil Young Archives and Live Nation causing online buzz. The concert at the iconic Blossom Music Center on August 15 is being touted as a highlight, promising “old songs, new songs, and long jams” alongside state-of-the-art production. At seventy-nine, the man still draws crowds that span generations.
Meanwhile, Young remains closely tied to his activism: he’s co-headlining the 40th anniversary of Farm Aid on September 20 in Minneapolis alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. As always, Farm Aid features family farm concessions and Young’s trademark sustainability focus.
Headlines this week have included “Neil Young Prepares For North American Love Earth Tour,” “Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts To Debut New Music This Summer,” and “Farm Aid 2025 Set for Star-Studded 40th Anniversary.” The recent social media landscape is buzzing, with fans sharing setlists, video snippets, and speculation about the new album. Notably, a major trending topic was Young’s thunderous Glastonbury set, which critics called “mighty” and “career-defining.”
In sum, Neil Young is enjoying a dynamic moment: fresh band, new music on the horizon, major festival appearances, and his legacy as both music icon and activist standing firmer than ever.
