Neil Young Cancels All 2026 Tour Dates
Neil Young has cancelled all of his scheduled 2026 tour dates, calling off a full slate of live performances that had been planned across Europe and beyond.
The announcement was shared through Young’s official channels, confirming that every show on the 2026 calendar has been canceled. The decision affects all previously announced concerts, including summer dates that were expected to draw large crowds and mark another major chapter in his long touring career.
Cancellation Affects Entire 2026 Schedule
The 2026 tour was expected to feature Young performing with his current backing band, The Chrome Hearts, continuing a run of live activity that followed recent recordings and selective performances in prior years. The shows were scheduled throughout June and July and included appearances in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and mainland Europe.
With the cancellation, promoters and venues have begun issuing refunds for tickets already sold. No replacement dates or rescheduled shows have been announced.
No Detailed Explanation Given
At the time of the announcement, Young did not provide a detailed explanation for the decision to cancel the tour. His statement did not reference health concerns, logistical issues, or future touring plans, leaving the long-term outlook for live performances unclear.
Fans have been encouraged to monitor Young’s official website and social media platforms for any further updates regarding potential future appearances or alternate plans.
A Significant Pause in Touring
Young has long been regarded as one of rock’s most unpredictable and uncompromising live performers, known for changing setlists nightly and reshaping tours at a moment’s notice. Still, the cancellation of an entire year of scheduled concerts represents a significant pause for an artist who has spent decades on the road.
As of now, Neil Young has no live performances scheduled for 2026, marking a quiet year for one of rock music’s most enduring figures.
