The folk rocker plays BST Hyde Park with his band The Chrome Park on July 11 as part of a stellar line-up with Yusuf Cat Stevens and Van Morrison.
Tickets for the epic gig go on general sale on Wednesday March 5 at www.bst-hydepark.com.
Young and his band are undertaking their Love Earth World Tour across Europe and North America starting on June 18 featuring Spooner Oldham (Farfisa organ), Micah Nelson (guitar and vocal), Corey McCormick (bass and vocal), Anthony LoGerfo (drums) and Neil Young on guitar and vocal.
One of the most influential songwriters to emerge from the 1960s, his career began in Canada’s folk scene and he has released more than 40 studio albums, as well multiple live albums with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, or solo or with his band Crazy Horse.
His back catalogue of classics includes Heart of Gold, Harvest Moon, My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) and Rockin’ in the Free World.
Writing on the Neil Young Archives about completing a new album he said: “It is a happy feeling I have today, knowing I have made an album I think people will enjoy. I hope it’s out in April. Playing with the Chrome Hearts was a joy as we recorded song after song at Shangrila in Malibu. I wrote these songs in November and December.
“They feel fresh to me and I am very happy to have this all ready for you. It won’t be long now and it will be great to have new songs to play on the road this summer in Europe, the USA and Canada. We are looking forward to that!”
Yusuf / Cat Stevens rose to fame in the sixties with chart-topping pop hits like Matthew and Son, and First Cut is the Deepest.
Following a serious breakdown in health, he resurfaced as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the seventies with Wild World, Father and So, and Where Do The Children Play?
The Ivor Novello award winner has been inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has sold more than 100 million records.
Like Neil Young, Belfast-born Van Morrison turns 80 this year and for nearly six decades he’s been a maverick songwriting genius with classics such as Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance, and Days Like This and albums which fuse pop, R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk.
Neil Young joins previously announced headliners for Hyde Park BST 2025 Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Jeff Lynne’s ELO with more to be announced.
