Since bursting onto the scene almost a decade ago, Yungblud's rise has been rapid, with the UK-born artist becoming one of the most influential musical voices of his generation.
Merging rock and punk into a firestorm of emotion, the past few years have seen Yungblud curate his own festival, Bludfest, release the #1 Sunday Times Bestseller You Need to Exist: A Book to Love and Destroy and drop his critically acclaimed, chart-topping fourth album, IDOLS, which arrived earlier this year alongside the Paul Dugdale directed documentary, YUNGBLUD: Are You Ready, Boy?.
2025 has also seen Yungblud perform ‘Changes’ with Black Sabbath at the Back To The Beginning benefit concert and announce a collaborative EP with Aerosmith.
His upcoming Australian tour, his first in three years, is shaping up as a must-attend for music lovers, with tickets sure to sell out in no time
