After the gold rush, comes the tour.
Neil Young, 77, is hitting the road for the first time since 2019.
However, the former Buffalo Springfrield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young singer will be mixing things up for his ‘Coastal Tour’ taking place exclusively in California, Oregon and Washington this July.
At all 13 upcoming acoustic gigs, the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will be performing songs he’s never played live before according to the Neil Young Archives.
That doesn’t mean he’s just playing new stuff — just not “Heart of Gold” which he doesn’t want audiences to compare to how he sounded singing the classic tune live in 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020.
A few of the tracks that he is planning on including in the non-traditional set list include Pearl Jam’s “Song X” which he’s featured, 1994’s “Prime of Life” and the catchy Trans outtake “If You Got Love.”
And if you want tickets to see Daryl Hannah’s husband live right now, you can grab them as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Wednesday, June 14, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
Young will be joined by special guest Chris Pierce at all shows.
