Yungblud to hold free concert in London this Friday
British rocker Yungblud will be treating fans to a free live concert in London on Friday, March 21st, at the Scala. The singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, quickly filled the limited number of free tickets available for the intimate gig after promoting it on social media. This surprise event follows the release of Yungblud’s new single, a nine-minute long track titled ‘Hello Heaven, Hello,’ which marks a bold move in his musical journey.
In his statement about the single, Yungblud described it as a symbolic step towards self-reinvention and a departure from his past work. The track, he explained, represents a transition from the familiar to the unknown, bidding farewell to previous perceptions and embracing new directions. This song, according to Yungblud, serves as a multifaceted experience that invites listeners to embark on a sonic adventure that is both groundbreaking and unrestricted by convention.
Yungblud, known for his fierce rock roots, emphasized the significance of rock music in shaping his identity as an artist. Growing up surrounded by guitarists in his family, he encountered rock music at an early age, and it played a fundamental role in defining his creative spirit. Despite some reservations about releasing a nine-minute track in today’s music landscape, Yungblud viewed this as an opportunity for innovation rather than a risk. For him, innovation and calculated risk-taking are essential components of artistic growth and self-expression.
Reflecting on his previous albums, such as ‘Weird!’ and ‘Yungblud,’ both of which achieved chart-topping success in the UK, Yungblud expressed a desire to transcend his established style and venture into uncharted territories. He acknowledged the dilemma of falling into predictable patterns and highlighted the importance of constantly reinventing oneself as an artist to avoid creative stagnation.
Looking ahead, Yungblud aims to release a new album this year, following the critical and commercial success of his previous works. Additionally, his signature music festival, Bludfest, will return for its second installment at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on June 21. With his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist and a growing global fanbase, Yungblud’s upcoming projects promise to captivate audiences worldwide and push the boundaries of contemporary rock music.
