Neil Young Will Return To The Road With Two Shows Next Month

Last year, Neil Young and his current band Chrome Hearts embarked on extensive touring. Initially, they had planned to continue this tour into the present year. However, a few months prior to the scheduled European tour in June and July, Neil Young decided to take a hiatus. The reason for this break remains undisclosed. Nevertheless, the hiatus is now over.

Neil Young will join his long-time friend and fellow icon, Willie Nelson, for two concerts in December in the East Coast. In May, Neil Young made a surprise live appearance at a Vancouver benefit that celebrated the 90th birthday of his friend, the Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. Young's most recent full-band performance was in October of the previous year.

Next month, Neil Young and Chrome Hearts will release their new album titled "Second Song." This album will feature a few unreleased tracks that Young penned in 1963. In addition to the album release, Neil Young and Willie Nelson were already scheduled to perform together at Farm Aid on September 26 in Virginia Beach. Yesterday, Neil Young announced two more concerts ahead of the benefit.

Willie Nelson & Family and Neil Young & Chrome Hearts will take the stage on September 22 at Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and on September 24 at Philadelphia's Highmark Mann Center For The Performing Arts. Ty Myers will open both shows. Tickets for these concerts went on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. eastern. The week's top music news and internet memes are provided by the Neil Young Archives.
