Neil Young announces new UK and Europe tour for 2026
Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts have confirmed their plans to return to the United Kingdom and Europe in 2026 with a huge summer tour.
The run of dates are set to begin in Manchester on June 19th at Heaton Park, before visiting France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy.
There are also two festival dates in Young’s itinerary for the United Kingdom. He has been confirmed as the fourth headliner of the brand new Blenheim Palace Festival, which takes place on the grounds of the historic Oxfordshire country manor.
He will perform on July 3rd, 2026, and will be joined on the bill by Elvis Costello and The Imposters.
The other acts that have been confirmed to perform at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2026 are Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics on on June 27th, followed by Teddy Swims on June 30th, and Katy Perry on July 1st.
Additionally, he will top the bill at another brand-new camping festival, State Fayre, alongside Kings of Leon and The Lumineers, which will take place in Chelmsford, Essex, between June 26th and June 28th, 2026.
For all of the shows in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and the Netherlands, Young will be joined by Elvis Costello and The Imposters.
Tickets for the headline shows are available on November 24th at 9:00am GMT for a 48-hour presale for Neil Young Archives members. General sale begins on November 28th at 9:00am GMT.
The upcoming 2026 shows follow-up on an incredible summer for Young and The Chrome Hearts, who released their debut album Talkin to the Trees in June, on the continent.
In addition to playing a huge string of outdoor shows in Europe, they also headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival and BST Hyde Park in London.
In a glowing review of his performance at Worthy Farm, Far Out wrote, “Over the course of his set, he successfully stripped Glastonbury back to its roots, but he also offered an inspiring message of hope for the future. In that sense, Young was a truly perfect headliner for this year’s festival.”
