After completing his first tour in four years this past July, Neil Young is eyeing the summer of 2024 when it comes to a greater return to the road.
Opening November with a note to readers of his Neil Young Archives website, the icon wrote, "I hope you and your families are doing well in this time. With the world marred in wars, it's a good time to think of family and those you love, trying to make their days a little better."
Undoubtedly making every last reader's day a little better, Young then divulged, "I am looking forward to playing some this summer. We are looking at possible places for our LOVE EARTH tour."
A vocal critic of both pandemic touring and the usual live music profiteers, Young remains uncompromising in his vision of bringing a sustainable concert tour to the world.
In his NYA note, he notes how goals for the summer 2024 shows include "Farmaid Homegrown food," "outdoor venues for health and safety," "renewable fuel for our busses and trucks" — and most importantly, "music for the soul."
Toward the end of September, Young had written about how he was "looking at a few shows next year and have not yet made up my mind," and also shared a bit about his special live sets with Crazy Horse at the Roxy in Los Angeles, playing 1969's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and 1975's Tonight's the Night in their entirety.
"We had a great time and I think we were good," Young shared. "It was a blast to play old songs I have never played since the day they were recorded."

Outside of the aforementioned 2023 tour, Young's year has included giving Time Fades Away a 50th anniversary reissue, the arrival of his long-awaited Chrome Dreams album and live set Odeon Budokan and, most recently, the announcement of solo re-recording project Before and After.
