About Yungblud: The Maverick of Modern Alternative

Yungblud, born Dominic Harrison, has rapidly ascended from a promising newcomer to a globally recognised force in the alternative music scene. Since bursting onto the scene with his debut EP Yungblud in 2018, he’s been a whirlwind of creative output, releasing two critically acclaimed studio albums: 21st Century Liability (2018) and Weird! (2020), followed by his latest, Yungblud (2022). His career highlights are numerous, including sold-out tours across the globe, performances at major festivals like Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds, and collaborations with an impressive array of artists spanning genres, from Machine Gun Kelly and Halsey to rock legends like The Damned. He’s also been recognised with awards and nominations, cementing his status as a significant voice for his generation.

Musically, Yungblud defies easy labels. He masterfully blends elements of punk rock, indie pop, hip-hop, and even glam rock, creating a sound that is distinctly his own. His music is characterised by its infectious energy, often anthemic choruses, and a lyrical content that tackles themes of mental health, societal pressures, love, loss, and identity with a disarming honesty. He’s celebrated for his ability to be both vulnerable and defiant, channeling his experiences and observations into songs that resonate deeply with a diverse fanbase. His live performances are legendary, marked by a high-octane, almost theatrical stage presence, where he connects intimately with his audience, often crowd-surfing or encouraging mass participation.

Some of Yungblud’s most notable hits that fans can expect to hear reverberating through the Utilita Arena include the politically charged anthem “Machine Gun (Fk The NRA)”**, the infectious and introspective “Parents”, the vibrant declaration of self-acceptance “Weird!”, the energetic and relatable “Sex With Myself”, the emotionally charged “Hope For The Underrated Youth”, the collaboration that sent shockwaves, “I Think I’m Okay” with Machine Gun Kelly, and the fan-favourite, singalong-ready “Strawberry Lipstick”. Each track offers a glimpse into the multifaceted artistry of Yungblud, showcasing his versatility and his unwavering commitment to authenticity.
