Neil Young, the iconic rock star and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, is set to take the stage again with his newly formed band, The Chrome Hearts, for the upcoming Love Earth World Tour commencing June 18, 2025. The tour spans across Europe and North America, beginning its first leg in Rättvik, Sweden, and showcasing the beloved musician's commitment to music and environmental sustainability.
The Love Earth World Tour marks Young's first European shows since 2019, as he embarks on this highly anticipated series of performances on the heels of his latest album, scheduled for release soon. The tour will launch at the Dalhalla venue, moving through cities like Bergen, Copenhagen, Dublin, and Brussels before wrapping its European leg on July 8th, spending the summer traversing across the continent.
The North American portion of the tour kicks off on August 8, 2025, at PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, North Carolina, with additional stops planned across major cities, including Toronto, New York, and ending with a grand finale concert at the renowned Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, on September 15.
Fans eager to see Young perform live will have access to tickets through two sales phases: starting February 25, Neil Young Archives members can participate in an exclusive presale, followed by general sales commencing on February 28.
Young is joined on stage by The Chrome Hearts band, which features longtime collaborator Spooner Oldham on the Farfisa organ, Micah Nelson (guitar and vocals), Corey McCormick (bass and vocals), and Anthony LoGerfo (drums). This ensemble released their first single, "Big Change," just this past January, igniting anticipation for more new music to follow.
Young has made headlines recently not just for his music but also for his commitment to making the concert experience more sustainable. This tour partners with Farm Aid, which Young co-founded, to promote the HOMEGROWN Concessions initiative, bringing local, sustainably produced food to concert venues. This effort reflects Young’s longstanding dedication to environmental issues and supports family farmers.
Regarding the tour’s commitment to maintaining affordable ticket prices, measures are in place to protect costs for fans. The initiative will employ Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for fans who need to resell their tickets, ensuring they won't face inflated prices. This means those who purchase tickets can resell them at the original price if they find they can no longer attend.
Through this tour, Young aims to inspire his audience, reminding them, "Music unites! We will be there with you! Join us all as we celebrate the Summer of Democracy." He emphasizes the role of music as not only entertainment but as a catalyst for social change, noting, "Big change is coming to you," highlighting the themes he explores through his new works.
Neil Young's return after years marked by health issues and pandemic complications resonates deeply with fans across generations. He recently addressed his hiatus and the challenges he faced during the pandemic, stating, "It was important to take care and be safe, but I missed live performing immensely. Now, it’s time to reconnect with my fans and share something meaningful again." Fans can expect both old favorites and new pieces during the shows as Young promises to offer both during the Summer of Democracy this year.
This remarkable tour blends Young's illustrious past with reflections on the present, emphasizing the need for community, connection, and change. Each concert is poised to be more than just entertainment—it's anticipated as part of the broader movement toward environmental awareness and communal support through music.
Neil Young’s Love Earth World Tour holds the promise of another chapter of musical excellence and societal commentary, encouraging fans to experience the joy of live music once again. With exciting new songs and passionate performances, attendees are sure to be moved by the power of Young's artistry.
