YUNGBLUD DOMINATES 68TH GRAMMY® AWARDS WITH THREE MAJOR ROCK NOMINATIONS + ANNOUNCES SOLD-OUT 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
British rock phenomenon YUNGBLUD has officially cemented his status as one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary music, receiving nominations across all major rock categories for the 68th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. The chart-topping artist earned nods for Best Rock Album (IDOLS), Best Rock Song (“Zombie”), and Best Rock Performance (“Changes (Live)”), marking a career-defining moment ahead of his sold-out North American tour, which kicks off in May 2026.
The nominations follow a whirlwind year for YUNGBLUD, whose latest album IDOLS (Locomotion/Capitol Records) has drawn critical acclaim for its emotional depth and fearless sonic experimentation. The album’s standout track “Zombie,” a deeply personal reflection written for his late grandmother, has resonated globally—its music video featuring Academy Award-nominated actress Florence Pugh and a moving dedication to frontline nurses.
In 2025, YUNGBLUD also unveiled his first book, the instant Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller “You Need to Exist: A Book to Love and Destroy” (Penguin Books), and launched his own festival, Bludfest, further establishing his creative reach beyond the studio. He also released a powerful tribute performance to Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV VMAs, ahead of his upcoming collaborative EP One More Time with Aerosmith, dropping November 21, 2025.
The Yorkshire-born artist’s ascent from underground rebel to arena headliner continues with his feature-length documentary “YUNGBLUD: Are You Ready, Boy?”, directed by EMMY® and BAFTA Award-winner Paul Dugdale. The film offers an unfiltered look at his rise and is already making waves following its U.K. and European release.
With over 8 billion streams, 3 million albums sold, and 1 million concert tickets worldwide, YUNGBLUD remains a voice of his generation—uncompromising, unfiltered, and unapologetically himself. His 2026 tour will see him bring the explosive energy of IDOLS to stages across the continent, including Radio City Music Hall (NYC), Red Rocks Amphitheatre (CO), and the Greek Theatre (LA).
