Neil Young has announced he will indeed play at Glastonbury after protesting it due to its BBC ties, “Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play the Glastonbury festival, which I always have loved,” Young wrote this weekend. “Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see you there!”
Young said a few days ago, “The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all time favorite outdoor gigs. We 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. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being. Thanks for coming to see us the last time!”
“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. Hope to see you at one of the other venues on the tour.”
