Neil Young<\/strong>\u00a0won’t be playing the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rocker announced on his <\/span>Neil Young Archives website<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that he and his band the\u00a0Chrome Hearts<\/strong> were supposed to play the 2025 fest, but have now pulled out due to the BBC\u2019s corporate sponsorship of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all time favorite outdoor gigs,\u201d Young shared. \u201cWe were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being,” he added. “We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it sounds like fans in the U.K. may still get to see Young at some point this year. He ended his note with, “Hope to see you at one of the other venues on the tour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Glastonbury Festival is set to take place June 25 to June 29. The full lineup has not been announced, although\u00a0Rod Stewart<\/strong> is confirmed to play the Legends slot.<\/span><\/p>\n
