Yungblud

Yungblud — born Dominic Harrison in Doncaster — is a British alt-rock artist known for high-energy live shows, punk-inflected pop hooks, and an emotionally open stage presence that has built a fiercely devoted following. His debut LP 21st Century Liability established his reputation for vulnerability and raw intensity, and his fourth studio album Idols — described by Harrison himself as a "concrete concept album" drawing on Britpop touchstones like Oasis, Primal Scream, Suede, David Bowie, and My Chemical Romance — marks what he calls his most personal and ambitious work yet.

His 2026 Australian tour proved to be his biggest run in the country to date, with sold-out shows at Brisbane's Riverstage and a Melbourne stop at Sidney Myer Music Bowl where he performed his cover of Black Sabbath's Changes — a track that took on new weight after he performed it at Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham as part of the all-star Supergroup A tribute. Off-stage, he jumped behind the bar at Brisbane's Crowbar to serve drinks to fans, and a gallery appearance in Sydney drew crowds large enough to require police dispersal.

BLUNT has followed his Australian push closely, including his response to online backlash during the tour — a wave of coordinated criticism he largely laughed off, echoing advice he says he's received from artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Corgan: legends don't tear people down. He also used the Melbourne show to announce plans to bring his financially accessible festival BLUDFEST to Australia in 2027, continuing his push to make live music more accessible to younger audiences.
