Neil Young makes shocking decision over Glastonbury 2025 appearance

Neil Young has some disappointing news for his fans.

The iconic rock and country musician has decided to pull out of the Glastonbury festival of 2025. 

It was previously reported that Young and his new live band, The Chrome Hearts would be a part of this event, to be held at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

This performance would’ve come 16 years after the Mirror Ball album maker headlined the Pyramid Stage and up until now, was ready to make his comeback.

However, as per The Rolling Stones, in an open letter on the Neil Young Archives, he wrote, “The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all-time favorite outdoor gigs.”

“We were told the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way that we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being,” he added.

In conclusion, Neil Young further mentioned, “We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn – off, and not for me like it used to be. Hope to see you at one of the other venues on the tour.”
