Yungblud<\/a> brought his huge \u2018Idols\u2019 world tour<\/a> to London last night (Friday April 24), where he broke out tracks from his collaborative EP with Aerosmith<\/a>, paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, invited a fan on stage and more. Check out footage, photos and the setlist below.<\/p>\n

The tour kicked off in Sheffield last week<\/a>, and has been seeing the Doncaster rock star (real name Dominic Harrison) play some of his biggest headline shows to date. Last night, he brought the show to The O2 in London, where he played to a sold-out crowd and kicked things off with his \u2018Idols<\/a>\u2019 debut single, \u2018Hello Heaven, Hello<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

He turned things up a notch with back-to-back renditions of \u2018The Funeral\u2019, \u2018Idols Pt. I\u2019 and \u2018Lovesick Lullaby\u2019, before breaking out the soaring track \u2018My Only Angel<\/a>\u2019 \u2013 which he dropped last September as the first taster of his collaborative EP with Aerosmith<\/a>, having already performed with them at the 2025 VMAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you motherfuckers ready for the best night of your lives? Because for the next two hours, you\u2019re mine. And I want everything you\u2019ve got,\u201d he said before later sharing his disbelief at headlining The O2, adding that was feeling \u201cso proud of what his community \u2013 which stands for love, unity and acceptance \u2013 is becoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other highlights of the night included Harrison inviting a fan to play guitar on \u2018Fleabag\u2019, while he performed his signature move of walking out into the crowd \u2013 making his way into the middle of the pit being held up on fans\u2019 shoulders.<\/p>\n

Alongside intense, pyro-filled renditions of \u2018Loner\u2019, \u2018Fire\u2019 and more later in the set, Yungblud also integrated calmer, emotive moments into the show with fan-favourite \u2018Zombie\u2019 and his cover of the Black Sabbath<\/a> hit \u2018Changes\u2019.<\/p>\n

Harrison first took on the iconic 1972 track when he performed at Black Sabbath\u2019s final-ever show<\/a> in Birmingham last summer \u2013 where was joined by members of Extreme, Sleep Token<\/a> and more, and also gifted Osbourne a custom-made gold cross<\/a> backstage.<\/p>\n

He later officially released his cover of \u2018Changes\u2019<\/a>, won a Grammy<\/a> for the live performance, promised fans that he would \u201cplay this song every night for the rest of my life\u201d<\/a>, and told NME that Ozzy had always been \u201cmy north star\u201d<\/a> and \u201ca character in my life who was a reflection of everything I went through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to dedicate this next song to a dear friend of mine in the sky tonight. This next song goes out to fucking Ozzy Osbourne. We are going to scream it so fucking loud that he hears it in fucking heaven,\u201d Yungblud said before performing the track at The O2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for being here tonight from the bottom of my heart, London. This is crazy, look at how big our community is getting. I love you all so much\u2026 and we love you, Oz,\u201d he added, looking visibly emotional and lost for words as the crowd held up their phone lights and began chanting the Prince Of Darkness\u2019 name.<\/p>\n

Yungblud released the second half of his \u2018Idols\u2019 double album in February and it was given a glowing four-star review by NME<\/a>, which described it as \u201ca king-sized statement from the crown prince of rock\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt bookmarks the latest chapter in the story of Dominic Harrison with a fairytale ending, now living with the freedom of thought that once eluded him,\u201d the review continued. \u201cSonically, the double album might not redefine the future of rock, but \u2013 as the soundtrack to his most successful era yet \u2013 it has helped guarantee the future of Yungblud. He had to \u2018go to hell and back\u2018 to get there, but \u2018Idols\u2019 and \u2018Idols II\u2019 confirm that Dominic Harrison has taken \u2018one step into heaven\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yungblud brought his huge \u2018Idols\u2019 world tour to London last night (Friday April 24), where he broke out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[4986,27,6513],"class_list":{"0":"post-21926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-live-music-news","9":"tag-london","10":"tag-rock"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116466206821175411","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
