Neil Young is bringing back his Harvest Moon benefit concert at the Painted Turtle Camp in Lake Hughes, Ca., and will welcome Beck and Lana Del Rey for the 2025 edition on Oct. 25. Young launched the event in 2019 as the successor to his annual Bridge School Benefit concerts, which he organized with his late wife Pegi.
Proceeds from Harvest Moon benefit not only the Bridge School, which supports children with severe speech and physical disabilities, but the Painted Turtle, which offers “transformative camp experiences” for children with serious medical conditions.
Young will perform with his band the Chrome Hearts, while marima ensemble Masanga will reprise their role as the first act of the day. Tickets are on sale now.
“This gathering, where music, nature and purpose come together, is a powerful celebration of hope and community,” says Painted Turtle executive director April Tani. “It’s an opportunity for all of us to support two extraordinary organizations making a real difference in children’s lives.”
Previous Harvest Moon performers have included John Mayer, Father John Misty and Norah Jones. In 2024, Young was joined by former bandmate Stephen Stills for a set of solo, Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young songs.
