Neil Young offers Greenland free access to his catalogue for one year

Neil Young announced he will give people in Greenland one year of free access to his full music catalogue, saying the offer is meant to ease stress tied to recent political remarks about Greenland.

Neil Young posted on his Neil Young Archives website that he will provide people living in Greenland with free access to his full music catalogue for one year. He said the offer is intended to "ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats" connected to what he called an unpopular and hopefully temporary government. The post, dated Jan. 26, followed U.S. President Donald Trump's earlier remarks about Greenland that he later dropped after a speech in Davos. Young has been a frequent commentator on political matters and has published several op-eds on his site. Key points: - Neil Young pledged one year's free access to his entire music catalogue specifically for people in Greenland. - The statement was published on Jan. 26 on the Neil Young Archives website and was framed as an offer of "peace and love." - Young said the offer was meant to ease "unwarranted stress and threats" tied to recent political comments about Greenland. - The post followed reports that President Trump had floated taking over Greenland and later dropped those plans after speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. - The article notes Young has removed his music from Amazon in October 2025 and previously removed then returned to Spotify, and that he has released politically themed songs and commentary in recent years. - Past legal and political actions referenced include a 2020 lawsuit against Trump that Young later dropped and his 2020 endorsement of Bernie Sanders. Summary: Young described the one-year access as a gift of music from his 62-year career and framed it as an offer of peace and love. The article reports the pledge and its stated purpose but does not give technical details about how access will be provided to Greenland residents. Undetermined at this time.
