The Grammy Award-winning British rock star Yungblud last night thanked fans during an epic and emotional penultimate show of his 11-date, sold-out UK arena run.
Opening with the monumental nine-minute single Hello Heaven, Hello, the 28-year-old delivered a 1-hour-40-minute set spanning four albums, blasting through high-energy favourites Lovesick Lullaby and The Funeral to pyrotechnics and pandemonium.
The singer was visibly moved onstage as the packed arena roared its approval, offering rapturous applause throughout.
A standout moment came during Fleabag, when Yungblud paused after the intro to spotlight a fan in the crowd, inviting them onstage to play the song on his white Gibson SG. Visibly shaking at the prospect of performing with his hero, the fan was quickly put at ease as Yungblud urged the audience: “Make some noise, make him feel comfortable because he’s nervous.”
Tribute was paid to Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne with a stunning rendition of Changes, now a staple of the set and consistent highlight.
Following Ghosts, a fan favourite from his third consecutive number 1 album, Idols, Yungblud told the crowd: “Thank you from the bottom of my f*cking heart for being here tonight. I am so proud of what we’ve created. In a world that is so divided, we stand for love. We stand for unity.”
A string-accompanied version of the Grammy-nominated ballad Zombie brought the main set to a close, culminating in a mass singalong. An encore of Suburban Requiem, complete with confetti and pyrotechnic blasts, brought the night to a powerhouse finish.
