The stipulation underscores Young’s long-standing concerns about governmental power following his exchange with Bruce Springsteen over Trump’s fitness for office.

Neil Young (left in this composite image) has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to attend his upcoming “Love Earth” summer tour, though with a pointed caveat: “If there is not martial law by then.”

Overview

  • Young posted on his Neil Young Archives site that Trump is welcome to attend his Love Earth world tour if no martial law is declared during U.S. dates this summer.
  • The Love Earth tour kicks off in Sweden on June 18 and moves to North America in August with Young promising a nonpolitical celebration of shared American values.
  • The invitation comes after Springsteen labeled Trump an “unfit president” during a UK concert and the former president struck back at artists on social media.
  • Young once welcomed Trump as a fan and condemned his unauthorized use of “Rockin’ in the Free World” at rallies, later expressing fears he could face reentry bans.
  • Trump has threatened federal probes into musicians’ alleged support for Vice President Harris, escalating the clash between political power and artistic activism.
