Neil Young withdraws from Glastonbury music fest

Folk legend Neil Young has pulled out of the Glastonbury music festival in 2025, alleging it has fallen under "the corporate control" of its partner BBC.

The 79-year-old musician, who was once one of the line-up of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, said he had been "looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all-time favourite outdoor gigs".

But he added that the "BBC... wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in" at the festival held in late June in south-west England.

"It seems Glastonbury is under corporate control," the American-Canadian singer and songwriter claimed in a statement on his website.

"We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour, because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be."
