Neil Young + Crazy Horse have announced a run of spring 2024 shows billed as the Love Earth Tour. The 16-show amphitheater run, produced by Live Nation, marks the first full tour for Young and his long-running, on-and-off backing band in a decade.
The Neil Young + Crazy Horse 2024 Love Earth Tour is set to kick off with two shows in San Diego, CA on April 24th and 25th before making its way to Phoenix, AZ (4/27), Austin, TX (5/1), Dallas, TX (5/2), Huntsville, AL (5/5), Atlanta, GA (5/7), Franklin, TN (5/8), Bristow, VA (5/11), Camden, NJ (5/12), Queens, NY (5/14), Mansfield, MA (5/17), Bridgeport, CT (5/18), Toronto, ON (5/20), Clarkston, MI (5/22), and Chicago, IL (5/23). Neil Young + Crazy Horse are also scheduled to perform at the second weekend of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans, LA (5/4).
Neil Young + Crazy Horse have been relatively active in the studio in recent years—they recorded three albums over the past five years (2019’s Colorado, 2021’s Barn, and 2022’s World Record)—but have largely shied away from performing live. In 2023, they performed a pair of intimate shows at West Hollywood, CA’s The Roxy in honor of the venue’s 50th birthday in addition to a show at Rivoli in Toronto.
The Crazy Horse band lineup has shifted gradually since forming in the 1960s. The most recent version of the band’s lineup featured Neil Young (guitar, vocals) alongside Ralph Molina (drums), Billy Talbot (bass), and Nils Lofgren (guitar). Micah Nelson, the son of Willie Nelson who performs under the moniker Particle Kid, also joined the band for the two 2023 shows at The Roxy. While the band lineup for the Love Earth Tour has not been officially announced, Lofgren will be on tour with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band during that time, leading fans to speculate that Nelson will take his place for the run.

In addition to announcing the tour, Neil Young + Crazy Horse have announced a new live album, FU##IN’ UP, recorded in 2023. As Young explained of the coming release in a statement, “In the spirit it’s offered… made this for the Horse lovers. I can’t stop it. The horse is runnin’. What a ride we have. I don’t want to mess with the vibe. I am so happy to have this to share.”
The album, comprised of nine songs spread across two LPs, will be released in limited edition colored vinyl for Record Store Day on April 20th ahead of its multiple-format general release on April 26th. More information on FU##IN’ UP can be found on Neil Young Archives.
