Dominic Richard Harrison, known professionally as YUNGBLUD, announced new 2021 show dates on social-media today for his ‘Intimate as Fuck Tour Pt. 2′. This will be an extension of his ‘Intimate as Fuck Tour’ last year for his first studio album titled 21st Century Liability. 

While part one toured only in Kingston, Leeds an Edinburgh, the upcoming 2021 UK tour will expand into Brighton, Sheffield, Southampton and more. The second leg of the tour will differ from the first as it will instead see stripped and acoustic live performances of YUNGBLUD’s upcoming second album Weird!, which is scheduled to be released in November 2020.

The Yorkshire born singer/songwriter debuted the title-song Weird! earlier this year which featured themes of coming-age oddities along with a homemade music video for the track. Among the track list for the coming album, Strawberry Lipstick was released on July 16th and last week Cotton Candy was dropped with it’s accompanying video on YouTube.

In fitting with the artist’s previous lyrical style, each single has a deeper theme, Strawberry Lipstick dealing with themes of toxicity in relationships and Cotton Candy acting as a discussion for safe-sex and sexual liberation. YUNGBLUD is not new to injecting political themes into his lyrics, as many of his early songs doubled as activist anthems.

On his 2018 self-titled EP, the single King Charles is a protest song for the working class and he goes on to release the track I love you, Will you marry me?, which satires corporate greed. The artist continues this theme with his first full-length album 21st Century Liability that digs into sexual assault and issues with relationships in modern society. His song Polygraph Eyes was featured in the hit television series ’13 Reasons Why’ for its distinct relationship with assault surrounding young women.

YUNGBLUD was scheduled to perform Coachella this year however when the festival was postponed due to complications surrounding the Covid-19 crisis, the young artist announced a virtual live-stream convert for his fans. The concert was one of the first virtual concerts to be done during the pandemic and because of its funding and success, YUNGBLUD will be playing another virtual concert before the end of the year.

Next month the virtual tour ‘Weird Time of My Life’ will feature songs off the singers highly anticipated album Weird! and will be available to stream for fans who would be unable to attend the  aforementioned 2021 UK Tour live in person. The in person tour will only span from late March to early April and tickets are on sale as of this morning.

YUNGBLUD’s newest single Cotton Candy is available now on all streaming platforms. The upcoming album Weird! will be available November 13th, 2020.
