The 2025 edition of BST Hyde Park is now into its third and final weekend. Up next after Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Sabrina Carpenter is Neil Young, who’ll grace the Oak Stage on Friday with his new-ish band the Chrome Hearts.
Young’s date in central London follows his headlining set at Glastonbury 2025 – and by all accounts you won’t want to miss him. Time Out’s on-the-ground reviewers at Glasto described his set as ‘fuss-free’ but ‘a comprehensive run-through of his massive catalogue’.
