Yungblud has announced three additional UK arena shows after his 2026 Idols tour sold out in record time. The new dates will take place in Sheffield, Liverpool and Belfast next April.
The 28-year-old Yorkshire-born artist shared the news on social media, thanking fans for what he called “the craziest tour of our lives.” He wrote, “Our entire UK arena tour has sold out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve decided to add more dates in Sheffield, Liverpool and Belfast. Ireland, we’ve opened up more tickets in Dublin too so go get them before they’re gone.”
Yungblud will play Sheffield’s Utilita Arena on 11th April, Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on 12th April and Belfast’s SSE Arena on 14th April 2026. Presale opens Thursday 30th October at 10am GMT, with general sale following on Friday 31st October at the same time.
The announcement follows a sold-out North American tour and the release of his fourth studio album Idols, which topped the UK charts this summer. The album’s success coincided with the premiere of Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?, a feature-length documentary directed by Paul Dugdale that charts his rise from Doncaster teenager to global headliner.
Born Dominic Harrison in Yorkshire, Yungblud first broke through with his debut album 21st Century Liability in 2018. His next two albums, Weird! (2020) and Yungblud (2022), both hit number one in the UK, establishing him as one of the country’s most recognisable young rock voices. His sound merges punk and pop influences, while his lyrics focus on individuality, mental health and defiance of conformity.
Over the past year, Yungblud has expanded his reach beyond music. His self-curated festival, Bludfest, debuted last summer, and his first book You Need to Exist: A Book to Love and Destroy became a Sunday Times bestseller. He was also awarded the O2 Silver Clef for Best Live Act, recognition of his high-energy stage presence and connection with fans.
Alongside the tour news, Yungblud confirmed that he’ll release a new collaborative EP, One More Time, with Aerosmith on 21st November. Its latest single, ‘My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)’, features guest banjo by actor and musician Steve Martin.
Yungblud’s Idols UK and Ireland tour will now include eleven arena dates, closing at Manchester’s AO Arena on 25th April 2026.
