Neil Young to Kick Off European Tour with Free Concert in Ukraine

The legendary musician plans to perform his first-ever show in Ukraine as a gesture of solidarity ahead of his 'Love Earth' tour.

  • Neil Young has announced a free concert in Ukraine to precede his upcoming European 'Love Earth' tour with his band, Chrome Hearts.
  • Details about the concert's date and location are still being finalized, but it is expected to take place before the tour's official start on June 18 in Sweden.
  • This will be Young's first performance in Ukraine and comes as a show of support for the country, which he has vocally backed since Russia's 2022 invasion.
  • Young has been a long-time critic of U.S. President Donald Trump, recently condemning his leadership and expressing support for Ukraine following a contentious meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
  • The 'Love Earth' tour will feature stops in several European countries, including Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, and Germany, before heading to North America.
