The 79-year-old singer will be playing a headline set at the Glastonbury Festival this northern summer but has revealed that a host of dates with his band The Chrome Hearts are in the pipeline.
A post titled 'Join us in the SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY' on his Neil Young Archives website reads: "Music unites! We will be there with you! Join us all as we celebrate the Summer of Democracy.
"Old songs and new songs. Old words and new words. Long jams! We will come together this summer.
"The Chrome Hearts and I are ready for you! LOVE and Democracy reigns in the USA and in the world."
The rock legend was announced as the first headliner for Glastonbury 2025 last month after reversing his decision to boycott the event due to it being a "corporate turn-off".
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis expressed her delight at Young's change of heart.
She wrote on Instagram: "What a start to the year!
"Neil Young is an artist who's very close to our hearts at Glastonbury. He does things his own way and that's why we love him.
"We can't wait to welcome him back here to headline the Pyramid in June."
It's not clear whether Young's decision will mean that his performance will be televised after he only allowed the BBC to screen a short portion of his headline set when he last played at Glastonbury in 2009.
