Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts to Co-Headline Shows with Willie Nelson & Family Ahead of Farm Aid 2026
Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts will co-headline two shows with Willie Nelson & Family this September, leading up to Farm Aid 2026. The confirmed dates are Tuesday, September 22 at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport and September 24 at TD Pavilion at the Mann, with Ty Myers opening both shows.
- September 22: Bridgeport, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater
- September 24: Philadelphia, TD Pavilion at the Mann
- September 26: Farm Aid 2026, Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater, Virginia Beach, Virginia
- Opening act for both co-bills: Ty Myers
- Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM ET
The two co-bill dates precede Farm Aid 2026, which is set to take place on September 26 at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Why Neil Young’s Return to the Stage Is Notable
Neil Young canceled his summer European tour with the Chrome Hearts back in February. At the time, he said, “Everything is OK. Just needed a break. Listening to my body.” Following that cancellation, his only confirmed gig had been Farm Aid on September 26.
In the days leading up to the September 18 release of “Second Song,” his sophomore release with the Chrome Hearts, Young hinted that additional dates were being planned. Last week he shared the title track to “Second Song,” which is now available for pre-order.
