Do we think a tour announcement will come prior to the presale for Jazz Fest?
ReplyDeleteBased on his note to come back on 2/14 for the presale, I read it as it is not likely that dates will be announced before then. I hope that I am wrong.
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side, he said that he would be announcing his tour soon on New Year’s Eve so I really don’t know, but I’m planning to be there once dates are known.
I imagine that it won’t be a long tour and could include Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas, Nashville, or Florida.
Would be surprised if goes north of Nashville in April/May.
Also hoping that maybe there will be 2 legs (8 - 12 shows each leg).
I’ll be curious to see if this ends up being similiar to the tour that he talked about doing with friends earlier in 2023 (going off of memory).
It appears that this item talking about jazz fest and the tickets etc. has been taken off of NYA, but jazz fest still shows NY + CH in the lineup.
ReplyDeleteI saw from a letter on Neil Young Arvhives a few days ago where he is saying that he will have to be able to cover up the Shell logo at the stage he plays for jazz fest or else he’ll cancel the show… I understand his position, but I sure hope it doesn’t get canceled. I’ve already bought tickets and made travel plans, etc..
ReplyDeleteThe jazz fest website continues to show Neil Young and crazy horse performing on the second weekend.
Copied text of Neil’s response to a Feb. 7th letter asking about Shell’s sponsorship:
“Jake,
I am just learning that now unfortunately, as it would have been a huge consideration.. I hate that part of it. I love playing music though and people there love music. I will insist on covering the shell logo while i play. If I have trouble, i will cancel the show.”
I guess we’ll find out - because he is supposed to release his tour info sometime this week I believe.
@ RBL66 - In 2016, Neil Young played New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and performed directly beneath Shell logo.
ReplyDeleteWe covered it then and again recently @
