Neil Young, aged 79, has reversed his decision to withdraw from the Glastonbury Festival in 2025, where he will now headline the Pyramid Stage in June with his band, The Chrome Hearts. Initially, Young had announced his withdrawal, citing concerns over the BBC's 'corporate control' of the event and stating that the festival had changed from what he remembered. However, he later clarified that his decision to pull out was due to an 'error in the information received.' Young expressed his continued love for the festival and eagerness to perform. Festival organizer Emily Eavis welcomed Young's return, emphasizing his unique approach and the festival's affection for him.
