Neil Younghas backed away from plans to perform at Englands massiveGlastonburyFestival this summer.

It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.

Hope to see you at one of the other venues on the tour.

(Rolling Stonereached out to reps for Glastonbury for comment.)

Glastonbury has yet to announce performers for the summer besides Rod Stewart.

But articles hit the U.K. press in late 2024 that Young would be playing.

They played their first gig at Farm Aid in September 2024.

Late last year, they recorded a new album with producer Lou Adler tentatively titledTalking to the Trees.

I went for two years without writing anything, Young recently told Dan Hesse on his podcastMentors Radio.

I was wondering, Wow, is that it?

This record has blown my mind.
