Neil Young has added a major festival date to his upcoming summer run with new band the Chrome Hearts. Young, 79, will headline a July 11 date at the annual BST Hyde Park summer concert series in London, where he will be joined by “Peace Train” singer Yusuf/Cat Stevens and Van Morrison, with more support acts to be announced later.
American Express U.K. card members can grab tickets now through 9 a.m. on March 5, with a BST Hyde Park pre-sale slated to open at 10 a.m. on Monday (March 3) and a general on-sale kicking off at 10 a.m. on March 5; all times GMT.
The gig will be Young’s first at BST Hyde Park since a 2019 co-headlining gig there with Bob Dylan. Young’s show will join a growing roster of 2025 BST Hyde Park headliners, which also include Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
The addition of the Hyde Park show expands the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s burgeoning 2025 road roster, after this week’s announcement of the dates for the first leg of the European/North American Love Earth tour, which is slated to kick off in Europe on June 18 at Dalhalla in Rättvik, Sweden before moving on to gigs in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
The tour will then hit the U.S., beginning with an August 8 show at PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, N.C., before moving on to Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Denver and Vancouver, with the last currently scheduled date set for Sept. 15 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; a spokesperson said more date will be added to the run later.
Young will be accompanied on all the shows by the Chrome Hearts band, featuring his longtime collaborator keyboardist/organist Spooner Oldham, as well as Promise of the Real members Micah Nelson (guitar/vocals), Corey McCormick (bass) and Anthony LoGerfo (drums). The group released the grungy anthem “Big Change” in January. Young debuted the Chrome Hearts band last year and has said an album from the group is tentatively slated for release in April.
