Neil Young announces a free show in Ukraine

Neil Young has announced free show in Ukraine as a part of his love earth tour.

Along with European, UK and North American dates, Young and the Chrome Hearts will perform at Dublin’s Malahide Castle in June.

“We are currently in talks and will make the announcement of details here at NYA,” read a statement on the Neil Young Archives website regarding their Ukrainian show. “Keep on Rockin’ in the FREE WORLD.”

The announcement follows a tense meeting between American President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, discussing US aid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Three days before the highly publicised conference, Young posted a statement to his website regarding Trump.

“Under 47’s leadership, the US has lost its standing,” he wrote. “Loyalists will never be stronger than Patriots, and Patriots are in the majority here in the USA. Our Patriots will take to the streets to peacefully demonstrate. There will be a moment of truth in our country and we will show the world who we reallly are. At that moment, The USA will again be the leader of the Free World.”

Tickets for Young’s Dublin show are available here.
