Neil Young has announced plans to perform a free concert in Ukraine ahead of his upcoming European summer tour with the Chrome Hearts. “We are currently in talks and will make the announcement here at [the Neil Young Archives],” Young wrote on his official website. “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.”

It’s unclear exactly where and when this show will take place, but the tour formally begins June 18 in Rättvik, Sweden. Young has never previously played in Ukraine, but he’s been a very vocal backer of the nation ever since it was invaded by Russia in 2022. He’s also been extremely critical of President Trump.

“Under 47’s leadership, the US has lost its standing,” Young wrote late last month in a post titled Leader of the Free World No More. “Loyalists will never be stronger than Patriots, and Patriots are in the majority here in the USA. Our Patriots will take to the streets to peacefully demonstrate. There will be a moment of truth in our country and we will show the world who we really are. The USA will again be the leader of the Free World.”

In October, Young endorsed Kamala Harris for president. “She is an honest forthright truth teller who is experienced in the White House, free from ambiguity or evasiveness, who goes straight to the point,” he wrote. “Clear headed, young enough to hold the office for a couple of bright future terms, Kamala Harris is a good person who is unafraid to take on criminals and uphold the law of the USA. She’s my candidate for the future of this great country.”

Young’s political activism goes back tp 1970 when he blasted Richard Nixon in his protest anthem “Ohio.” He briefly flirted with support for Ronald Reagan in the early Eighties, but has been committed to the Democratic party ever since. His 1989 comeback hit “Rockin’ in the Free World” took direct aim at George. H.W. Bush (“We got a thousand points of light/For the homeless man/We got a kinder, gentler/Machine gun hand”). In 2006, he went even harder at Bush’s son, George W. Bush, on “Let’s Impeach the President” during CSNY’s Freedom of Speech tour.

The Ukraine show this summer will kick off a long run of dates across Europe and North America. “Music unites!” Young wrote when announcing the tour. “We will be there with you! Join us as we celebrate the Summer of Democracy. Old songs and new songs. Old words and new words. Long jams! We will come together this summer. The Chrome Hearts and I are ready for you! LOVE and Democracy reigns in the USA and the world.”
