First Barbra, then Bieber, and now Brooklyn's Barclays Center has announced that Neil Young and Crazy Horse will perform at the arena on December 3rd, about a week after their show at Madison Square Garden. Think Jimmy Fallon will show up for a Neil/Neil duet? Tickets will go on sale June 25th through Ticketmaster.

According to Broadway World, the team has played "more than 24,000 games in 120 countries and territories over the past 86 years... except they have never played in Brooklyn."
