Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

At 79 Neil Young is having a stretch that could redefine the back nine of his legendary career and let me tell you the headlines are loud and the action is real. This past week brought a full-on media blitz as Young launched his Love Earth World Tour 2025 featuring his brand new band the Chrome Hearts. The Chrome Hearts lineup—Young alongside Spooner Oldham on Farfisa organ Micah Nelson on guitar and vocals Corey McCormick on bass and Anthony LoGerfo on drums—made waves with the drop of their new single Big Change which is a preview of a yet-unnamed album reportedly just finished with the help of producers Lou Adler and John Hanlon as reported by IMDb and Consequence. Fans and critics are buzzing that the musical chemistry with Chrome Hearts could mark a creative renaissance for Young who is purposely mixing classics and deep cuts with plenty of long jams every night.

Tour dates are filling venues across North America and Europe with Blossom Music Center in Ohio preparing for a sold-out showdown August 15, as promoted by both the Cleveland Amphitheater and iHeartRadio’s WMMS. The band hits Jones Beach August 23 and Bethel Woods the very next night August 24 per regional concert listings. Los Angeles will get its fix September 15 at the Hollywood Bowl according to Discover Los Angeles. Each venue update stokes the fire further since this comes after Young had to cancel last year’s Crazy Horse tour due to health issues—a fact not lost on fans who see this return as both triumphant and poignant according to Jones Beach and fan news blog Thrasher’s Wheat.

Business and legacy activities are getting their share of spotlight too. Young is doubling down on his Farm Aid activism by using HOMEGROWN Concessions throughout the tour bringing sustainably-sourced food and fair-pay ethos to his concert footprint. The Chrome Hearts partnership and new album are already drawing speculation of possible collaborations and brand tie-ins though nothing is officially confirmed yet. And as Neil Young at 80 events with the RTE Concert Orchestra in Ireland sell out in minutes fans are reminded his star power spans both continents and generations—so much so it’s sparked healthy nostalgia and retrospective think-pieces on iconic albums like On the Beach reflecting both Young’s longevity and his ongoing cultural influence.

On the social side there’s been an uptick in Instagram traction including a sold-out birthday notice from the rteconcertorchestra and packed fan coverage of recent tour stops. Bandmate Corey McCormick’s new podcast interview about balancing rock and roll and fatherhood has even nudged Young’s inner circle into the limelight adding a layer of depth to the touring news. In sum Neil Young is working at full throttle—revitalized legacy new sounds advocacy and arena-filling buzz serving up something fans and industry insiders realize is truly significant and potentially historic.
