Neil Young To Headline 2025 BST Hyde Park In London
Neil Young is gearing up for a busy summer with his new band, The Chrome Hearts, and he’s just added a major festival date to the mix. The 79-year-old rock legend will headline BST Hyde Park in London on July 11, sharing the stage with Yusuf/Cat Stevens and Van Morrison. More supporting acts will be announced in the coming months.
For fans eager to secure tickets, American Express U.K. cardholders have early access until March 5 at 9 a.m. GMT. A pre-sale for BST Hyde Park begins on March 3 at 10 a.m., followed by the general sale at 10 a.m. on March 5.
This marks Young’s return to BST Hyde Park after his 2019 co-headlining set with Bob Dylan. His addition further bolsters an already star-studded 2025 festival lineup, which includes Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, and Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
The BST Hyde Park date is part of Young’s recently announced Love Earth Tour, which kicks off in Sweden on June 18 and travels through Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The North American leg begins on August 8 in Charlotte, N.C., before making stops in major cities like Detroit, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Denver, and Vancouver. The tour currently wraps up at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on September 15, though more dates are expected.
For this run, Young will be backed by Chrome Hearts, a group featuring longtime collaborator Spooner Oldham (keyboards/organ), along with Micah Nelson (guitar/vocals), Corey McCormick (bass), and Anthony LoGerfo (drums) from Promise of the Real. The band dropped their gritty single “Big Change” in January, and their debut album is tentatively set for release in April.
With a fresh band, new music, and an extensive tour ahead, Young is proving once again that he’s far from slowing down.
