Neil Young's Triumphant Return: Harvest Moon 2025, New Band, and Tonight's The Night 50th Anniversary

Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Neil Young just wrapped up his Harvest Moon 2025 benefit concert yesterday at The Painted Turtle in Lake Hughes, California, sharing the stage with Beck and Lana Del Rey. The event showcased Young performing with his new band Chrome Hearts, marking a remarkable comeback after health issues forced him to cancel his Crazy Horse tour dates in 2024.

The eighty-year-old rock legend has been making headlines with his triumphant return to music. After falling seriously ill following a Detroit show last year, Young spent months recovering and questioning whether he'd perform again. That's when Micah Nelson, Willie Nelson's thirty-five-year-old son, stepped in with persistent encouragement. Rolling Stone reports that Nelson called Young repeatedly, telling him he wasn't old and needed to recharge. Nelson admitted he thought Neil was fading away and found that unacceptable, so he kept reminding Young that whenever he was ready to return, he'd be there.

Chrome Hearts debuted at Farm Aid 2024 and includes Nelson, keyboard master Spooner Oldham, and Promise of the Real members Corey McCormick and Anthony LoGerfo. The band has been tackling Young's extensive catalog, performing tributes to his 1992 album Harvest Moon. Young released his forty-ninth studio album, Talkin to the Trees, in mid-2025 and reunited with his Gretsch 6120 guitar for a performance at Glastonbury Festival.

Young is also pushing a special fiftieth anniversary deluxe edition of Tonight's The Night, which hits stores soon. Tracking Angle reports the limited release includes six unreleased tracks from the original 1973 recording sessions at Studio Instrumental Rentals in Hollywood, featuring never-before-issued versions of Lookout Joe and Walk On. This marks the most cohesive version of the album ever released.

Additionally, Young has been encouraging fans to support local record stores, stating his music will be pulled from Amazon. The veteran rocker continues demonstrating his commitment to authentic music-making and independent retail, proving that even at eighty, he remains built for both speed and distance.
