Neil Young and Crazy Horse cancel remaining 2024 tour dates

Neil Young and Crazy Horse are taking a break from their first tour in over a decade due to recent illnesses among the band members.

On Wednesday, the musicians announced the cancellation of their upcoming North American concerts, as well as their hope to make up missed dates in the future, in a message shared on Young’s official website.

“When a few of us got sick after Pine Knob in Detroit, we had to stop. We are still not fully recovered, so unfortunately our big tour will have a big unplanned break,” the statement read. “We will try to play some of the dates we missed as time goes on, when we are ready to rock again! We know many of you have travel plans and we apologize for the inconvenience.”

The statement continued: “Thank you for your understanding and patience. Health is our priority. We want to stay and make more shows and more albums for you…and for us. With love and thanks to all of you from Crazy Horse…Neil, Micah, Ralph and Billy.”

Which Neil Young and Crazy Horse shows have been cancelled?

In addition to seven dates in Canada, the following shows appear as canceled events on Ticketmaster: July 25 in Bend, Oregon; July 26 in George, Washington; July 29 in West Valley City, Utah. The July 31 performance in Greenwood Village, Colorado, is canceled, according to AXS.

Southern California’s Ohana Festival, which will take place September 27-28, confirmed on social media that Young and Crazy Horse will no longer be headlining.

The Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, also shared on Instagram that it is looking for a new headliner.

No information is available on when their Hollywood Bowl will be held on September 29, although the event page has been removed from the venue’s website.

The Love Earth tour, originally announced as a 16-concert jaunt and launched April 24 in San Diego, Calif., “has been a great experience for us so far,” Young and the band wrote. “Great crowd and music. We had a blast!”

Before hitting the road, Young, 78, and Crazy Horse released a nine-song album in April.

In late May, a month into the tour, they announced that a large number of concerts had been postponed “due to illness.”
