Ahead of YUNGBLUD’s highly anticipated Australian leg of his IDOLS World Tour, the English creative has announced Brisbane trio Dune Rats as his support act.

The news arrives following the release of YUNGBLUD’s collaborative EP with Aerosmith, One More Time, which debuted at #1 on four Billboard album charts and #1 in the UK.

DIY punk rock trio Dune Rats are favourites of Australia and still riding high after the release of their fifth studio album, If It Sucks, Turn It Up, which dropped in 2024.

Demand for YUNGBLUD’s Australian tour has seen dates sell out and additional shows announced.

YUNGBLUD’s Sydney show at Hordern Pavilion on Saturday 10 January has been upgraded to Qudos Bank Arena. The next two concerts are at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Tuesday 13 January and Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Thursday 15 January. YUNGBLUD ends his tour with sold-out shows at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Saturday 17 January and Perth’s Ice Cream Factory on Tuesday 20 January, with a recently announced second Brisbane gig taking place on Sunday 18 January.

Along with Dune Rats supporting YUNGBLUD on his Aussie tour, the singer-songwriter has announced an exclusive photography exhibition by acclaimed British photographer Tom Pallant at Behind The Gallery in Sydney’s Newtown that will run from January 7-11, 2026. 

The exhibition will feature an array of both personal and never-before-seen photos and images celebrating the evolution of one of the most influential alt-rock figures of a generation.
