Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Neil Young has been all over the headlines and social feeds the past week, making 2025 a landmark year in his storied career. Neil just set London alight on July 11 at Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival with a fiery live rendition of Throw Your Hatred Down, thrilling both longtime fans and new faces alike according to fan-shot footage circulating widely. Simultaneously he’s prepping to headline the massive Glastonbury Festival next month, a gig he previously pulled out of citing “corporate turn-off” but recently reversed, stating on his Neil Young Archives site that he’s back in with great excitement. Meanwhile, Young and his venerable backing band the Chrome Hearts are gearing up for a packed tour summer, with tickets for the globe-trotting Love Earth World Tour having gone on sale just days ago. Social media is buzzing about upcoming U.S. dates, including a September 1 stop at Fiddler’s Green and a September 15 show at the Hollywood Bowl, with fans hyping both his classics and newer eco-themed numbers promised for the setlist.

The veteran rocker is also making cinematic waves with news of his just-announced album and documentary film project, Coastal, crafted with wife Daryl Hannah at the helm. Coastal features rare live performances, behind-the-scenes footage from Neil’s 2023 solo west coast run, and candid stories, and it will screen for one night only in theaters April 17 of next year before the album soundtrack drops the following day. Sources like People and AOL describe the film as “illuminating” for its up-close, unguarded look at Young’s late-career rejuvenation and personal musings as he returned to touring post-covid—a project likely to become a pivotal biographical entry.

Neil’s activism remains central with his perennial Farm Aid co-headlining slot confirmed for September 20 in Minneapolis. This 40th anniversary bash is drawing extra attention with major new additions to the lineup and Young’s presence alongside Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, keeping his decades-long support for family farmers in the spotlight. On the pop culture front, Neil just sat down with Conan O’Brien for a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where he revisited stories ranging from his beloved 1957 Eldorado to the philosophy behind never selling his songs to commercials and the recording of his new album at high elevation. Unofficial blogs and fan forums are buzzing about all of this, with most stories emphasizing the sense of renaissance and restlessness that has always defined Young’s trajectory. No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors are swirling at this time, with attention squarely focused on the music, the causes, and the coming tour dates.
