‘You Need to Exist!’

That’s the title of Yungblud’s upcoming book. And he promises that it’s not one to just ‘sit quietly on your shelf’.

Despite being fresh from unveiling his own festival, Yungblud has just announced details of his new book – due out in the summer.

Scheduled to debut on the 15th of August via Penguin Publishers, the musician has been busy crafting another creative and ambitious endeavour for his fans. In fact, he describes ‘You Need to Exist’ as a journal to inspire and help people out. And according to a new press release, it will even be interactive, too.

I have made it my mission to unite as many people as I possibly can,” YUNGBLUD explains. “I wanted to make something that would go beyond the traditional idea of a book and bring as many people together as possible. I want this book to help you figure out who you are, even if you might have a pretty good idea already. It will encourage you to confess what you love about yourself, destroy your deepest insecurities, and face your darkest fears.

“This isn’t a book to sit quietly on your shelf, You Need To Exist is made to be scribbled in, painted over, broken, buried, thrown around a room with its pages ripped out before you send it out to the world. I want this book to be a place you find comfort, hope and ideas that you can carry with you every day. A constant reminder and a challenge to create without judgement. I can’t wait to see what you make with it!”

The book, which was written and illustrated by Yungblud, will include art, his own experiences as well as some previously-unreleased lyrics.

So, if you are a Youngblud fan, then mark the 15th of August in your diaries.

In the meantime, you can also catch YUNGBLUD live at Rock For People in June – get your tickets here.

And let’s not forget about the inaugural ‘Bludfest’, which will be launching on the 11th of August at the Milton Keynes Bowl.

With all this on the horizon, August promises to be a very busy month for Yungblud indeed.
