Neil Young Cancels U.K. and European Tour: 'This Is Not The Time'
Neil Young has canceled his upcoming U.K. and European tour with Chrome Hearts, citing that 'this is not the time' in a message to fans.
Neil Young has announced the cancellation of his planned 2026 tour dates with Chrome Hearts in the U.K. and Europe. In a message posted on his website Friday (Feb. 6), Young apologized to fans, stating, “this is not the time.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer shared “A message from Neil” on his site, explaining his decision to withdraw from the tour.
“I have decided to take a break and will not be touring Europe this time,” the message begins. “Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. I’m sorry to let you down, but this is not the time. I do love playing LIVE and being with you and the Chrome Hearts.”
He signed off with: “LOVE Neil” and “be well.”
The tour was scheduled to commence on June 17 in Bodelva, England, and continue through July 26 in Udine, Italy. Elvis Costello and the Imposters were slated to be the opening act on select dates. Young’s Chrome Hearts band features guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormick, drummer Anthony Logerfo, and organist Spooner Oldham.
This cancellation follows an eventful month for Young, who made headlines in January when he pledged to give his music to anyone in Greenland after President Trump’s administration expressed interest in U.S. control of the island nation.
“I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,” Young wrote, offering a year of free access to his catalog. “It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love.”
Young added: “All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as you are in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.”
The rock legend also spoke out against Apple, Verizon, and T-Mobile for supporting the “fascist Trump regime.”
