Yungblud is making a name for himself one song at a time.
The British rocker (he’s from Doncaster) stepped on the scene in 2017 with his debut single, “King Charles,” released as part of his self-titled EP. Yungblud’s first-ever record, 21st Century Liability, hit the soundwaves in July 2018, and the musician toured the album as part of the Vans Warped Tour that summer.
As his star continued to rise, Yungblud teamed up with several major artists — including Halsey, Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly — ahead of his second album release, Weird!, which dropped in 2020. The singer’s self-titled record was released in 2022, with his fourth album, Idols, dropping in June 2025. Yungblud revealed ahead of its release that this record is the first part of a bigger project.
The two-part album is “a love letter to self-reclamation … to rock music … [and] to life in all it’s f***ing madness,” Yungblud told Billboard in May 2025.

No pretentious nonsense, no corporate bollocks — just raw, unfiltered creativity, music and community,” the website reads. “It’s not just about the music (although we’ve got some killer artists lined up). It’s about the connection. The feeling of being part of something electric and unforgettable.”
