Neil Young announces Second Song and Farm Aid date
Published on 08/17/2026 at 16:24 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂŒller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Neil Young has two concrete dates on the calendar again. Rolling Stone reports that Second Song arrives on September 18, 2026, and Farm Aid lists Young for September 26 in Virginia Beach.
New album, new title track
Second Song is Neil Youngâs next studio album with The Chrome Hearts. Rolling Stone says the record contains seven tracks, was produced by Young and Lou Adler, and includes both new songs and material that reaches back to Youngâs teenage years.
The title track is unusually long even by Young standards. Rolling Stone describes it as an 11-minute song, which makes the release feel closer to a statement piece than a standard single-cycle rollout.
A fall live anchor
Farm Aidâs ticket page places Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach. Farm Aid ticket information also says tickets are on sale now, with prices ranging from $85 to $350.
That makes the Virginia Beach slot the current live marker after the canceled European run earlier in 2026. It is also the only live date on Youngâs public calendar mentioned in Rolling Stoneâs report.

Where the songs sit
Talkin to the Trees reached No. 9 in Germany, according to Offizielle Deutsche Charts, while the new album continues the Chrome Hearts collaboration that began in 2025. That German top-10 peak gives Second Song a clear local frame before the September release.
The new record looks more archival than most late-career rock releases. Rolling Stone notes that two of its seven songs date back to the 1960s, which places the album between fresh writing and deep catalog excavation.
What comes next
Neil Young is next scheduled to appear at Farm Aid 2026 in Virginia Beach on September 26, 2026.
