Dominic Harrison kicked off 2026 with a bang at his first YUNGBLUD show of the year in Sydney.
YUNGBLUD kicked off his Australian tour – and, indeed, his massive 2026 – on Saturday night, with a show at Sydney's Quodos Bank Arena.
It was his first gig since cancelling a run of shows at the end of last year on doctor's orders. After a week spent acclimatising to the sunnier-than-Doncaster Aussie weather by partying naked on a yacht and showing his arse to paparazzi cameras, he arrived onstage to Black Sabbath's War Pigs, and hit with a set that focused heavily on 2025's Idols album. He also threw in his cover of Sabbath's Changes, first heard during his appearance at Back to The Beginning last summer, and My Only Angel, his recent collab with Aerosmith.
Here's how the rest of the night went down:

4. Lovesick Lullaby
5. My Only Angel (Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD song)
6. strawberry lipstick
7. fleabag
8. Lowlife
9. Changes (Black Sabbath cover)
10. Fire
11. Tin Pan Boy (restarted due to medical incident in the crowd)
12. braindead!
13. Loner

15. Zombie
YUNGBLUD's going to be a busy boy for the next few months. He's in Australia for another week, then after a short break, he kicks off his UK arena tour in Sheffield on April 11, before heading to America.
He's also teased that the second part of Idols will arrive "imminently". What he's been working on is, he promises, "more cynical" and "minimalist" than its grandstanding predecessor.
Hopefully that'll mean he'll have new stuff to show off at the UK gigs.
