YUNGBLUD

There's no holding back when this supremely talented, outspoken star takes to the stage, and the energy is infectious

‘BEST GIG OF my life,” came the exhilarated declaration from Dominic Harrison, the pop-punk titan otherwise known as Yungblud, minutes after bringing the house down at a sell-out show at London’s Wembley Arena in February. Over the space of two hours, Harrison had delivered a show that saw him prove his chops as an electrifying live performer. Standing in front of 12,000 fans, he preached his gospel of inclusivity, acceptance and being whoever the fuck you want to be to a crowd who lapped up his every word.

“Never be afraid to be yourself. If people don’t like you for it, they’ve got no fucking imagination,” he told them at one early juncture. “You’re fucking brilliant just the way you are. People still misunderstand me. They’ll never fucking get it. But it doesn’t matter because we’ve got each other.”
