Yungblud Sells Red Rocks Amphitheatre 

Story by Jasmyn Renae

A Yungblud show isn’t just like any other rock show, it’s its own experience. It’s only right that he brought it to one of the most iconic venues in the world. Yungblud is one of those artists who can bring thousands from around the country into one space as he entices and sustains the audience’s full attention throughout. 

The UK’s beloved rock singer is now selling out venues all over the US. Yungblud’s IDOLS Tour sold out within seconds, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Without an empty seat in the house, his bold style and dynamic energy, it’s no surprise this show was so highly anticipated. 

The crowd was filled people from every walk of life. Both incoming and long time fans knew every word to every song. Yungblud is not just one person, but a family. 

He opens up the show with the first singles off the album, Hello Heaven, Hello, and Lovesick Lullaby. He would go on to sing other songs from the complete album including Idols Pt. 1, I Need You (To Make The World Seem Fine), and Fire. He recently released the EP One More Time with Aerosmith, singing songs such as My Only Angel and Wild Woman. His set contained not only songs from newer projects, but also included some older singles such as fleabag, Lowlife, and Loner. 

Further along in his set, Yungblud dedicates a cover of Changes by Black Sabbath to the late Ozzy Osbourne. He mentions how much he changed his life and that he wanted the crowd to sing so that Ozzy could hear the crowd up in heaven as they lit up the venue. He finished off the show with Ghosts, Suburban Requiem, and his hit single Zombie. 

It’s every artist’s dream to play Red Rocks, and Yungblud was no exception. Not only was this show a legacy for him, but it will be remembered forever by his fans. He mentioned in an Instagram post after the show, “I’ve played this moment in my mind for 15 years and I can truly say the reality of the situation exceeded the dream. Thank you red rocks.”
