Neil Young Announces ‘Love Earth’ World Tour Dates

Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts have announced dates for the “Love Earth” world tour, taking place this summer. The first leg of the tour launches on June 18 in Rättvik, Sweden and continues through Europe and the U.K., with North American dates (produced by Live Nation) beginning in North Carolina on August 8 before concluding in Los Angeles on September 15. Full dates appear below; more are expected to be added “shortly,” according to the announcement.

The Chrome Hearts comprise Young with longtime accompanist Spooner Oldham (Farfisa organ), along with Micah Nelson (guitar and vocal), Corey McCormick (bass and vocal), Anthony LoGerfo (drums). The tour is billed in the announcement as “bringing his music and songs, new and old, to you. Their recent single ‘big change’ is the first introduction of what’s to come on the Love Earth tour.”

Following a long hiatus from touring due to the pandemic, Young, 79, returned to the road with a vengeance last year, scheduling a major tour with his band of nearly 50 years, Crazy Horse, last summer. However, after several weeks that tour was canceled due to unspecified health issues, although Young played several dates with the Chrome Hearts in September.

Tickets are available beginning tomorrow, February 25 via an exclusive, 48-hour presale for Neil Young Archives members. General on-sale begins Friday, February 28.

\The announcement includes the following notes on North American tickets: “To protect the prices originally set by the artist, this tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for all necessary resale and make tickets mobile only and restricted from transfer. This means if fans purchase tickets and can no longer attend, they’ll have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange tool. This applies to all shows except those in Illinois, New York, Utah, Virginia, and Canada, where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated. More information on how the Ticketmaster Exchange works is available here.”

Neil Young is proud to partner with Farm Aid (co-founded by Neil Young in 1985) to bring HOMEGROWN Concessions to this tour, leading the way to change the live music food system. HOMEGROWN Concessions brings family farm food — produced sustainably with a fair price paid to the farmer and served on compostable serviceware — to music venues.
