At 3/04/2009 12:43:00 PM, Anonymous said...: sorry, but i think there are enough uk-dates. i'd prefer some middle-europe-dates, austria e.g.

At 3/04/2009 01:25:00 PM, Anonymous said...: He's playing Barce at the end of May & UK at the end of June - thats at least 3 weeks in Europe - don't worry I'm sure he'll get around as many places as he can.

He's got product to sell coming up this year and he wants to get his name out there again.

I think he wants to get places he might not be able to later - thats probably why he has hasn't played that many US dates since end of 2007 (a lot of last years were in Canada).

My guess for the UK is one more in Newcastle and one maybe down south as well as Hyde Park & Glasto. I'll have an outside punt on Harewood House nr Leeds - not that would be convenient - I could walk back to my mate Dave's house after!

After it took me fours hours to get off the site after The Who a couple of years back, I vowed never to back there for a gig again. Guess I'd have to if Neil played my home town.
At 3/04/2009 02:49:00 PM, Anonymous said...: where have you heard that glasto is confirmed. There are rumors he is playing iow and not glasto.
At 3/04/2009 06:25:00 PM, pdh1978 said...: Presuming 27th means Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park? But there is no official info on Neil's or festival website... Where is this confirmed?

At 3/04/2009 08:25:00 PM, Anonymous said...: wasn't there talk somewhere of neil playing liverpools echo arena?

how i'd love to see neil in my home town!!
At 3/04/2009 09:07:00 PM, Zack said...: Any ideas what the Dublin date is likely to be? Malahide Castle isn't doing any outdoor gigs this year, so presumably he'll play indoors somewhere, the 02 presumably??
At 3/04/2009 09:23:00 PM, Anonymous said...: He's playing The O2 in Dublin on Sunday 21 June. Presale begins this Saturday. General sale starts on Monday. He's also a definite for the Saturday of the Hard Rock Calling festival in London.
At 3/04/2009 10:08:00 PM, TomCrac said...: I'm still waiting for Neil to come and play Nyack.

Something to add to your list.

Sunday 14th June, Isle of Wight festival - Neil will be the headliner.

Looks like a fairly massive tour this year...

Davie from Scotland
At 3/05/2009 05:31:00 AM, pdh1978 said...: Yes, Isle of Wight confirmed on the festival website: http://www.isleofwightfestival.com/
At 3/05/2009 05:59:00 AM, Daniel said...: Very funny that Neil will play the same festival(Isle of Wight) as Prodigy who dissed him so hard during the Australian tour... gives him the opportunity to show them once more who rocks the most! :-)
At 3/05/2009 07:25:00 AM, donal said...: Re Dublin O2 June 21st Presale,

Does anyone know how to get presale tickets for this gig, ticketmaster.ie says the presale starts next Saturday at 9am.

Have tried here but there is no listing for Irish or UK gigs:

Seen him twice last year (Paris & Colmar)
I just hope he add a French date. If not, i will go to Montreux or Antwerpen and probably scream and cry, and go back with love in mind, even if it's raining outside ;-)

http://www.drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4166897

Why doesn't anybody like Neil?

These dorks think it's Neil diamond?!
At 3/05/2009 07:10:00 PM, Ian G said...: That IOW site is so sad its funny. One guy even say he doesn't want an old country singer closing the festival. Talk about ignorance.
At 3/05/2009 07:18:00 PM, Anonymous said...: what are people saying on the facebook groups? I cant get on it during work to see.
At 3/05/2009 08:44:00 PM, Anonymous said...: They are upset he's the headliner. A lot of comments like "who is Neil Young?" "why couldn't they get Oasis, U2 or The Red Hot Chili Peppers" etc. It's kinda sad but I take solace in the thought that Neil himself would probably find it really funny. I hope lots of Neil fans buy tickets now so he doesn't feel too unloved there!
At 3/05/2009 08:48:00 PM, Anonymous said...: btw, the Drowned In Sound forum users aren't dissing Neil they are quoting the facebook group and IoW forum in disbelief. They are defending him because they can't believe people are saying that stuff.
At 3/06/2009 04:57:00 AM, Honingvlinder said...: Yay! Just got our tix for Neil in Antwerpen! I was having a terrible morning when a "Neil Young tickets on sale now" message from livenation.be popped up, I jumped for joy! The Dutch weather may be gloomy but there is sunshine in my world again!

At 3/06/2009 08:22:00 AM, Rosa said...: I'm happy to see he's coming to Spain again, this time to Barcelona. Thank you so much, Neil.

Just a question: is it possible to repeat Madrid? That would be perfect!
At 3/06/2009 08:30:00 AM, dr dip said...: from the oxford dictionary:
prod'igy,n. Marvellous thing,esp. one out of the course of nature;person who is a wonderful example of some quality(is a p. of learning, energy),wonderful person(esp.infant p., precocious child)).person born in Canada with unusual talent and compassion,a dreamer of pictures who runs in the night usually chasin' the moonlight. a pretend band that usually headlines with another artist they really want to be...Pretenders who start fires!
At 3/06/2009 09:12:00 AM, Liza said...: I tried all morning to buy tickets for Oslo, but I heard that the concert there was sold out in about 10 minutes.
At 3/06/2009 09:29:00 AM, Benoni said...: Got tickets for Oslo today. It`ll be my fifth Neil concert, looking forward to it as it was my first. Liza; next time skip the phone thing. Go to an post office, 7-11 or Narvesen.

Like Santa, Neil has a lot of 'helpers'
who have got him down pat. Just be sure your gettin' 'the real Neil deal'.Don't you think it strange that one man could be in soo many places at the one time?
With the Neil juggernaut in full swing at 100 miles to the gallon...beware the imposter.

At 3/07/2009 09:09:00 AM, Anonymous said...: Word is, now that Neil is playing IOW, Hyde Park might be out of the question.

I seriously hope not, I was really looking forward to seeing Neil twice in a week.

Worst thing is, IOWighters dont seem to appreciate Neil. None of them seem to even know his music.

So it's simple really; if you're going to IOW, or any Neil show this year, RAISE THE ROOF IN SUPPORT. And enjoy yourself, of course.

I can't wait to see Neil again this year, and I seriously hope he returns to London on the 27th :-)

Why not adding a one-off CSN&Y show in Italy in July??????

;-)

I'm a dreaming man, yes that's my problem...
At 4/04/2009 03:33:00 AM, Eric said...: The show at Montreux Jazz Festival won't happen. According to the boss of the festival, the date was set, the conditions were agreed on both parts and Neil suddenly decided that his Euro tour would end in June.

For those interested, the festival press conference is available on their website : http://www.montreuxjazz.com (Neil's not making it into the final line-up is mentionned at the end, during the Q&A's)

Lots of people disappointed over here in Switzerland, as you can imagine.
At 4/08/2009 10:57:00 AM, Rosa said...: I have just seen that the announced30th may concert in Barcelona is being officially confirmed, but nothing yet about the other one in San Sebastian.

That's the reason why I would like to ask Neil again to come to Madrid, even though I see there are many already confirmed dates for the Europe tour.
But maybe there is still a chance, or a date, who knows...
I wish my dream could come true, like last year.

I would like to thank Neil in advance,

Rosa
