Neil Young’s 2025 ‘Love Earth’ Tour Kicks Off in Sweden
Rock-n-roll icon Neil Young has opened his much-anticipated world tour, called the Love Earth Tour, and it has people in a daze. The tour, which will commence on June 18, 2025, at the stunning Dalhalla amphitheater, in Ratts-vik in Sweden will combine all musical nostalgia, deep tracks, and a message about environmental care-maintaining responsibility.
Young is continuing to prove that rock is relevant in driving purpose with a setlist packed with surprises and classics in tow and an additional force in HOMEGROWN Concessions.
A Stunning Start in Sweden: Dalhalla Amphitheater
Dalhalla is a phenomenal outdoor venue hewn out of an ancient limestone quarry and which the tour started off at. On the dramatic Nordic stage, Neil Young and his brand-new supporting band, The Chrome Hearts, gave a memorable premiere show.
The song list was a time travel of decades worth of music, running the gamut of staples like Cinnamon Girl and Like a Hurricane to unlooked-for delights like songs of his 2003 rock opera, Greendale. The audience also got to hear some CSNY songs that are not heard very often as well as a deeper dive into the extensive catalog of Young.
Meet The Chrome Hearts
Backing Young on this tour is the band he calls the Chrome Hearts, a lineup featuring both longtime collaborators and new energy:
- Spooner Oldham – Legendary session keyboardist
- Micah Nelson – Multi-instrumentalist and son of Willie Nelson
- Corey McCormick – Bassist from Young’s Promise of the Real projects
- Anthony LoGerfo – Drummer and longtime Young associate
Together, they deliver a raw, soulful sound that blends Young’s electric fire with meditative acoustic moments.
Sustainability On Tour: HOMEGROWN Concessions
More than just a musical journey, the Love Earth Tour doubles as an environmental statement.
Neil Young has partnered with HOMEGROWN Concessions, a sustainable food initiative that focuses on locally sourced, organic, and environmentally conscious food offerings at live venues.
“Love Earth isn’t just a song — it’s a mission,” Young has said in past interviews, echoing his commitment to planet-first touring.
Fans attending shows can expect fewer plastic products, more plant-based menu items, and a unique blend of rock and environmental advocacy.
