The tour comes in support of latest album Idols, which is set to be released on Friday, 20 June this year via Locomotion/Island Records.

Last Friday, the artist released latest single Zombie, whose video stars Academy Award-nominated Florence Pugh as an NHS healthcare worker coping under immense emotional and physical strain. This week, Yungblud expressed his gratitude to the NHS by giving 1,000 healthcare professionals free tickets to this year’s Bludfest.
