 Neil Young BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Neil Young is having a banner summer across Europe with his newly formed band The Chrome Hearts, drawing both headlines and fan celebrations. Just this past week, he electrified tens of thousands in Berlin and Groningen, delivering a setlist packed with classics like Old Man Harvest Moon and Rockin in the Free World. According to Relix, Neil and the band hit the Waldbühne stage in Berlin on July 3, debuting fresh lineup renditions of Southern Man and Don’t Cry No Tears, the latter a first since 2019 and not played in Europe since 1993. The rare bust-out of Daddy Went Walkin ended a 16-year live hiatus for that song, marking another historic moment in the ongoing Love Earth Tour. The tour’s energy is palpable, especially considering Young is nearing eighty, sharing the spotlight with musical legends like Van Morrison, most recently in Groningen’s Stadspark before a crowd of twenty-four thousand—Northern Times called it a show that exceeded all expectations.

Fans are buzzing ahead of his next major appearance at BST Hyde Park in London this Friday, July 11. As London World reports, Neil Young will headline the iconic Great Oak Stage, supported by stars like Yusuf Cat Stevens and Van Morrison—a lineup that’s revving up serious anticipation. Gates open at 2 PM with Young’s own set planned for 8:50 to 10:20 PM, and social media chatter is building, including snapshots and videos from fans making the journey across Amsterdam, Groningen, and beyond.

Young’s tour has not just been about the music; it’s making waves in the pop culture dialogue too. He sat down with Conan O’Brien for an episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, opening up about his classic Eldorado Biarritz, his insistence on preserving musical quality, and his feelings about keeping his songs out of commercials. The conversation with Conan, which aired July 2, gave fans and industry folks alike a look at Young’s enduring principles and quirky humor.

There’s also swirl about festival appearances, as Sky News confirmed Neil Young is headlining this year’s Glastonbury, a headline in itself after earlier rumors that he might pull out over BBC involvement. With every show and every interview, Neil Young continues to shape his legacy in real time, not just revisiting history but actively making it, reminding both the old and new generations what original rock icon status feels like.
