Yesterday, Yungblud shared some very exciting news with his fans: Later this year, he will be going on a virtual tour which he is calling ‘The Weird Time Of Life Tour’. Given the current situation surrounding Covid-19, it is not possible for artists to perform live; many are hoping that next year it will be safe, while some, like Yungblud, are adapting.
For those who aren’t sure what a virtual tour is – and since it’s the first one to take place – the artist shared a video explaining everything. He began by saying, ” ‘Ello, what’s goin’ on? I just wanted to clear up any confusion…it’s quite a confusing time. What the fuck is a digital tour?”

It was confirmed that fans who attend will hear songs from the new album ‘Weird’, they’ll be able to attend regardless of the city they live in, and can purchase tickets for as many different shows as they like. Yungblud’s reason for running this tour is because he enjoys performing live, connecting with fans, and experiencing lots of different cultures.
General sale tickets will go on sale this Friday, 2nd October, at 5pm while the pre-sale will open at 1pm on 1st October for those who pre-order ‘Weird’ before 9.30am the same day. The singer also revealed that tickets will cost just $5 each. But, there will still be a limited number of tickets available, just like a real live-show.

Details of the new album, ‘Weird’, have kept fans on their toes for months waiting to hear further news. Last week, all the details were finally confirmed, and the album will be released 13th November, just a few days before the tour starts. Four singles are already out: Title track ‘weird!’, followed by ‘strawberry lipstick’, ‘Lemonade’, and ‘god save me, but don’t drown me out’ which came out just last week.
The singer’s other recent ventures include featuring on a track with Bring Me The Horizon, ‘Obey’ from their upcoming album, as well as appearing on BBC Radio 1 today as part of their Live Lounge Month. He performed two tracks including ‘strawberry lipstick’ and a mash-up cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Cardigan’ Avril Lavigne’s ‘I’m With You’.
