Neil Young & Crazy Horse come to the LG Arena

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Following the positive reviews that greeted the recent expansive double-album 'Psychedelic Pill', Neil Young & Crazy Horse can now confirm they will be coming to the LG Arena, Birmingham in June 2013. Their tour represents Young's first dates in the UK since the summer of 2009 which included triumphant headline sets at Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight festival and Hard Rock Calling, as well as his first UK dates with Crazy Horse (Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro, Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina) since 2001.

'Psychedelic Pill' opens with 'Driftin' Back', a gripping, 27-minute epic which has appearances from Jesus, the Maharishi and Picasso with Young noting how the images and messages associated with them are invariably corrupted or misconstrued. And, he fears, his own message and art have been corrupted and diminished by the very technology that has made it more accessible.

Two other songs on the album touch in similarly expansive musical territory, the elegiac ode 'Ramada Inn' and the spirited prayer of 'Walk Like A Giant'. Other highlights include 'Born in Ontario' and 'Twisted Road'.
