The Neil Young/Glastonbury tug of war has been quite the ordeal. On New Year’s Day, long before the venerable UK music festival released its 2025 lineup, Young announced he was dropping out of this year’s fest due to its partnership with the BBC, which was a “corporate turn-off.” Two days later, he said he would still play Glasto after all, citing “an error in the information received.” The festival is finally happening this weekend, with Young and his new band the Chrome Hearts topping the bill Saturday, sandwiched between headline sets from his younger peers the 1975 (Friday) and Olivia Rodrigo (Sunday). If you were looking forward to livestreaming it, you’re out of luck.
