For those fans that want something other than Neil Young’s more recent politically driven material, Young has announced that he will open his upcoming Rebel Content Summer Tour with a solo acoustic set. He will then be joined by the band Promise of the Real for a full electric show. Both sets will feature new songs and old favorites. The tour kicks off on 7/5 at Milwaukee’s Summer Fest. Please see below for all upcoming dates.
Promise of the Real is an LA-based rock band fronted by Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar), along with Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals), Anthony Logerfo (drums), Corey McCormick (bass) and Tato Melgar (percussion). They have performed with their father, Willie Nelson, and Young on previous occasions.

In addition, Neil Young + Promise of the Real are gearing up for the June 29th release of a new studio album, the guitar-centric, highly-charged rock album The Monsanto Years, which they recorded together.
