Rock legend Neil Young will headline Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater, the festival announced today. The grizzled songwriter will close out the Big Gig on Sunday, July 5, accompanied by the Los Angeles rock band Promise of the Real. Featuring Lukas and Micah Nelson, the sons of country star Willie Nelson, the band backed Young on his upcoming album The Monsanto Years, out for June 16 on Reprise Records. The album returns to the environmental themes that have marked Young's work for decades. Tickets to all shows on Young's summer tour will include either a CD or digital copy of the album.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 1 at 10 a.m. and include Summerfest admission.
