See YUNGBLUD cover Bitter Sweet Symphony in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

Happy Idols week! To celebrate the impending release of his new album, YUNGBLUD hit the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for a very special appearance.

As well as performing recent single Zombie for this new radio session, Dominic Harrison unleashed an impeccable cover of The Verve’s classic single Bitter Sweet Symphony, calling the whole thing “a dream”. Watch both performances now.

In our 4/5 review of Idols, we called it a ‘go-getter of a record that pays homage to the greats whilst still feeling brand new. YUNGBLUD’s outlandishness makes him a hard pill to swallow for some, but his guts, drive, and devotion to his craft cannot be denied.’

Check out Dom in the Live Lounge below:

Idols is due out on June 20 via Locomotion/Island. Catch YUNGBLUD at the UK leg of Idols – The World Tour 2026, with support from The Warning.
