Neil Young, the legendary singer-songwriter, is set to kick off his Love Earth World Tour this summer alongside his band, The Chrome Hearts. Scheduled to begin on June 18, 2025, the tour promises to deliver both fresh tracks and cherished classics as it travels through Europe and North America, culminating on September 15, 2025, at the iconic Hollywood Bowl.
The tour will commence with performances across Europe including cities such as Rättvik, Sweden; Bergen, Norway; and Dublin, Ireland, before transitioning to North American venues starting from Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 8. Young’s ensemble includes several renowned musicians: Spooner Oldham on Farfisa organ, Micah Nelson on guitar and vocals, Corey McCormick on bass and vocals, and Anthony LoGerfo on drums.
This year, Young is also excited to lead the introduction of HOMEGROWN Concessions to the tour. This initiative, spearheaded by Farm Aid—an organization Young helped establish back in 1985—aims to transform the live music food scene by focusing on sustainable practices and supporting local farmers. "HOMEGROWN Concessions brings family farm food—produced sustainably with fair prices paid to the farmers and served on compostable serviceware—to music venues," Young expressed, emphasizing the importance of connecting music and environmental advocacy.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale starting tomorrow, February 25, via an exclusive, 48-hour presale for members of the Neil Young Archives. After this window, general sales will begin on February 28. The ticketing scheme also incorporates Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, which helps curb ticket scalping by allowing fans to resell tickets at face value only, protecting the prices initially set by the artist. This system will facilitate ticket transferability, ensuring fans have options if they cannot attend. This policy, though comprehensive, has some limitations—it applies to all dates except those scheduled in Illinois, New York, Utah, Virginia, and Canada.
