				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yungblud has revealed his plans to open his own venue at a historic cultural hotspot in Soho, South London.</p>
<p>In a new interview with the <i><a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/yungblud-set-open-music-venue-35527954" target="_blank">Daily Star</a>, </i>it has been revealed that the musician intends to open the establishment at 20 Denmark Street &#8211; a road known as “Tin Pan Alley” due to its long association with the music industry.</p>
<p>The Doncaster-born singer told the newspaper: “It’s opening this year. I want people to hang out, meet and have a physical space to make real connections in this virtual world. There will be a leopard pool table downstairs.</p>
<p>“My dream is to have clubs all over the world where my fanbase can hang out, seven days a week, open all day and at night… London is hopefully just the first one.”</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yv97b2oPk3w?si=DD0EfuovRnBYc-7M" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Yungblud has been vocal about his support for the live music industry, whilst also expressing his concerns about the pricing of festivals and gigs, saying he “100% agrees that it has got out of hand.”</p>
<p>He spoke to the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c5y53yxz719o" target="_blank">BBC</a> in May about the current ticket prices for festivals, saying: “This is just dumb. Just stupid. It does not represent real people. I cannot play a festival where it’s like £800 a ticket. How can you stand on stage, and that’s okay?”</p>
<p>This comes after he launched his own “community-focused” festival, BludFest, last summer at the Milton Keynes Bowl. The first edition of the festival saw sets from Lil Yachty, Soft Play, Lola Young and Yungblud himself.</p>
<p>The second edition of BludFest took place last month with Denzel Curry and Chase Athletic joining Yungblud as headliners, where the Doncaster singer bringing out <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/yungblud-delivers-iconic-headline-at-bludfest-and-brings-billy-idol-out/" target="_blank">Billy Idol during his set</a>.</p>

I’m excited. It’s all about saying ‘thanks for this moment’. I’ve had so many arguments about the price-point but that’s it.”</p>
<p>More recently, the ‘Hello, Heaven Hello’ singer told BBC about the importance of the pricing of the festival, saying: “We wanted to come back and do 20 bands for £65, because that’s the way it should be. In this world, there is nothing you can’t achieve if you are doing it from a place of truth, and for the right reason.”</p>
<p>In other news relating the Yungblud, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/yungbluds-performance-at-black-sabbaths-final-show-and-rock-werchter-festival/" target="_blank">he showed up at the final Black Sabbath gig last weekend</a> as he performed a cover of ‘<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2wNEcJHnFxoKZIrxjxF5jL?si=dd6aa197413c4609" target="_blank">Changes</a>’ at the ‘Back To The Beginning’ show at Villa Park, Birmingham.

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>The festival, co-headlined by Chase Atlantic, featured a lineup including Denzel Curry, Blackbear and Rachel Chinouri. True to its promise, Bludfest festival kept accessibly priced tickets and community spots like the &#8216;Make A Friend&#8217; tent which emphasises the ethos that the festival is &#8220;for the people&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yungblud&#8217;s set was a whirlwind of energy and tunes. In the middle of his set, the northerner got emotional whilst talking about his latest album, a project of four years in the making, he said: &#8220;I was so f***ing nervous to release this album&#8230; but to see the amount of love that you are giving it… I love you all so much.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another powerful moment saw Yungblud urge his fans to donate to War Child, speaking about how there are children in countries such as Palestine and Ukraine, unfairly stuck in the middle of wars they have nothing to do with and being wrongly murdered.<br />

<p>The night was full of surprises and even saw the appearance of rock legend Billy Idol, who joined Yungblud for a rendition of his famous tunes &#8216;White Wedding&#8217;.  Yungblud declared his intention to bring an iconic figure to the festival every year. The night concluded with stadium-ready anthems like &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; and &#8216;Zombie&#8217;, leaving Yungblud to declare, &#8220;I’ll remember this night forever.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other acts such as Chase Atlantic delivered energised and fun sets with lead singer Mitchel Cave acknowleding the heat and making sure the crowd was feeling okay and also praising Yungblud for the event. Earlier in the day, the main stage hosted electric performances from Luvcat, Elin Hall, and NXDIA. The second stage saw acclaimed sets from Peach PRC, Nieve Ella, and Master Peace, with The Cliffords and Reece Young also celebrating unforgettable performances.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alt-pop, contemporary rock sensation Yungblud has shared his new single ‘Lovesick Lullaby’ at midnight today (25 April).<br />
<iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/2LRSQhv3Vi8SkEllnvUhEK?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The song is a raucous onslaught of energy from the very start. Yungblud offers bold punk vocals, baring vulnerable romantic truths and relatable heartaches. The style is reminiscent of past hits with the quintessential conversational vocals he’s brought to fan favourite singles such as, ‘Parents’ from <em>&#8216;the underrated youth&#8217; </em>EP and several tracks from his Britpop/punk album <i>&#8217;21st Century Liability&#8217;</i>. ‘Lovesick Lullaby’ similarly interjects with a softer choral sound for the hook.</p>
<p>The song follows his previous 9-minute epic track <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/yungblud-announces-new-single-hello-heaven-hello/" target="_blank">‘Hello Heaven, Hello’</a>, a heart-breaking rock ballad where the singer offers rich guitar solos and an emotional, screaming voice. He explained in an interview with <a href="http://readdork.com/news/yungblud-hello-heaven-new-single/" target="_blank">Dork Magazine</a> his thoughts on the opening single, stating “It’s a journey of self-reclamation, a goodbye to the past and how you may have known or perceived me before, and a hello to the future and where I’m going.”. Friend and fellow musician of Yungblud, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/yungblud-teases-lewis-capaldis-fans-with-new-music-its-sounding-great/" target="_blank">Lewis Capaldi</a>, gave his new music a stamp of approval, sharing with fans that the new music is &#8220;sounding great&#8221;.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xrZX47RbeJs?si=xs24jafhipzXX1Xw" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>With this bold new single, Yungblud shared with <a href="http://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-yungbluds-unapologetic-new-single-lovesick-lullaby-3858176" target="_blank">NME </a>that he describes ‘Lovesick Lullaby’ a “brazen, up-tempo anthem”. He also explains his thoughts on his sonic journey with three studio albums and six EPs. His latest project, he reveals, is a return “to British music, to British art and culture.”.</p>
<p>Yungblud has revelled in vulnerability throughout his music career, creating an unbreaking affinity with his fans. The singer boldened this notion with the release of an interactive, illustrated book last year titled <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/yungblud-is-releasing-his-own-interactive-illustrated-book/" target="_blank">‘You Need To Exist’</a>. Further to this, Yungblud created his own festival ‘<a href="http://www.bludfest.com/" target="_blank">BludFest</a>’. He describes the festival on the website with the statement, “it’s a movement, a family, and a space where individuality thrives.”. The festival will return this June at Milton Keynes Bowl with an incredible line-up including Blackbear, Denzel Curry and Rachel Chinouriri.</p>

The difference from the studio version to the live version of lovesick lullaby is the studio version gives me more oasis vibes and the live version was more sex pistols???

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Doncaster-born rocker, Yungblud, has revealed details of his upcoming single ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ set for release on Tuesday 18 March at 7pm GMT via BBC Radio 1’s <em>Hottest Record In The World. </em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Yungblud, otherwise known as Dominic Harrison, recently cleared his social media to showcase the beginning of a seemingly new musical era on Tuesday (March 11) with a series of black and white photos, which sees the performer topless with a microphone in hand surrounded by Marshall speakers. Each post gave a subtle clue to the new single, as the three posts revealed an individual word to unveil the single’s title.</p>

<p>This evening (Friday, 14 March), Harrison took to social media to tease the new single and its upcoming release. With a running time of 9 minutes and 6 seconds, fans have suspected this oddly specific track length is another subliminal message from the artist upon his announcement of new music.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old performer first burst onto the scene in 2018 with a five-track self-titled EP and has since established a prominent reputation for his high-energy live performances, emotionally raw and thought-provoking lyrics alongside sonic soundscapes that are reminiscent of post-punk whilst carefully intertwining components of hip hop, pop and alt-rock. With <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/53878/yungblud/" target="_blank">two number 1 albums</a> to his name, <em>‘weird!’ </em>(2020) and <em>‘YUNGBLUD’ </em>(2022) respectively, Dom is recognised for his most prominent tracks ‘parents’, ‘The Funeral’ and ‘Lowlife’ alongside his collaborations with Halsey and Travis Barker on ‘11 Minutes’ and ‘I Think I’m Okay’ with Machine Gun Kelly.</p>

<p>‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ currently has no audio teaser available, however, the ‘Cotton Candy’ performer’s announcement post featured a black and white video of an orchestra in the studio, which many can speculate will be a characteristic at the forefront of the new single.</p>
<p>Harrison hinted at the new single during an interview with<a href="https://www.kerrang.com/yungblud-dom-harrison-bludfest-rock-music-alternative-interview-cover-story" target="_blank"><em> Kerrang! </em></a>last August, the singer stated: “The first song is nine minutes long with two guitar solos in it. We’re going big with orchestras. We got to this point and position where we’re like, ‘right, what do we love? We love rock music. How do we push it forward but also adhere to what we f***ing love? Let’s make a record that we love listening to!”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>YUNGBLUD has released an extremely vulnerable and powerful new single titled &#8216;Breakdown&#8217;. Dominic Harrison&#8217;s new single centres around mental health and started out as a poem before he returned to it and made it into a song with very raw emotional lyrics, opening up about the singer&#8217;s own mental health. YUNGBLUD released the song in partnership with mental health charities Mind and Sound Mind Live and will donate £1 for every use of the song, split between the two charities. Speaking about the song he said:</p>
<p>&#8220;I wrote this song because it’s been the hardest year for me mentally. I feel myself changing and throughout my life I&#8217;ve never felt good enough, it’s been the main thing that on the one hand has driven me forward but on the other, has eaten me up. For as long as I can remember I have felt constantly afraid of how quickly my head can turn dark.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s always been so hard to fight the darkness that I inevitably have. A lot of people will say it’s a phase and it will go away. But it doesn’t and the reality of the situation is I have to find strategies to allow it to exist and to deal with it as a constant.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of us can feel like our lives are insignificant. We can feel like we have no purpose, so what is there to live for? The inexplicable darkness inside our heads can consume us. It can make it hard to get out of bed in the morning, force us to cancel plans, or back out of opportunities last minute.</p>
<p>&#8220;This song was written as a message to myself to try and exist alongside my insecurities and my darkness by grounding myself and remembering what is real in life and that the world is so much bigger than me.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the past my art has been about highlighting the pain and letting the world know that it is there, in order to relate to others but now I want to beat it. This song is a gateway to where my new music is heading. Embracing the light, realising what’s beautiful in the world and fighting the darkness &#8211; not wallowing in it.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s about getting out of your head and noticing the world around you, the things and people. Connect with them, the chances are they probably feel the same. Don’t let the bullshit inside your head consume you. It just wastes precious time and life potential.</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember what is real. Help people, be kind, help the world, help yourself. You’re probably living more than you think.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;You Need to Exist!&#8217;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the title of <a href="https://www.yungbludofficial.com/">Yungblud&#8217;s </a>upcoming book. And he promises that it&#8217;s not one to just &#8216;sit quietly on your shelf&#8217;.</p>
<p>Despite being fresh from unveiling his own festival, Yungblud has just announced details of his new book &#8211; due out in the summer.</p>
<p>Scheduled to debut on the 15th of August via Penguin Publishers, the musician has been busy crafting another creative and ambitious endeavour for his fans. In fact, he describes &#8216;You Need to Exist&#8217; as a journal to inspire and help people out. And according to a new press release, it will even be interactive, too.</p>
<p>I have made it my mission to unite as many people as I possibly can,” YUNGBLUD explains. “I wanted to make something that would go beyond the traditional idea of a book and bring as many people together as possible. I want this book to help you figure out who you are, even if you might have a pretty good idea already. It will encourage you to confess what you love about yourself, destroy your deepest insecurities, and face your darkest fears.</p>
<p>“This isn’t a book to sit quietly on your shelf, You Need To Exist is made to be scribbled in, painted over, broken, buried, thrown around a room with its pages ripped out before you send it out to the world. I want this book to be a place you find comfort, hope and ideas that you can carry with you every day. A constant reminder and a challenge to create without judgement. I can’t wait to see what you make with it!”</p>
<p>The book, which was written and illustrated by Yungblud, will include art, his own experiences as well as some previously-unreleased lyrics.</p>
<p>So, if you are a Youngblud fan, then mark the 15th of August in your diaries.</p>
<p>In the meantime, you can also catch <em>YUNGBLUD live at Rock For People in June – <a href="https://rockforpeople.cz/en/">get your tickets here</a>.</em></p>
<p>And let&#8217;s not forget about the inaugural <a href="https://www.bludfest.com/">&#8216;Bludfest&#8217;</a>, which will be launching on the 11th of August at the Milton Keynes Bowl.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With all this on the horizon, August promises to be a very busy month for Yungblud indeed.</p>
