English singer, musician, songwriter, and actor YUNGBLUD with JESSE JO STARK as a special guest is set to perform in Manila for his YUNGBLUD ASIA TOUR LIVE IN MANILA this November 8, 2023, 8PM at the Skydome, SM City North EDSA.

Rarely does an artist come along such as YUNGBLUD, who has undeniably become the voice of Gen-Z, using his music to unite and empower the youth of today. From the ground up, he has nurtured a vast collective of dedicated fans around the globe – a close-knit family that’s grown into the millions. With a social following of over 14.5 million, over 5 billion TikTok views, 6.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and 5 billion global streams, YUNGBLUD is firmly amongst the top alternative artists of his generation.

His breakneck voyage through the alt cosmos continues in 2023, with the release of the new single ‘Lowlife’ marking a fresh new era that simultaneously takes him back to his roots and into the heady new future of YUNGBLUD. Discussing the single, he says “I wrote ‘Lowlife’ because I just didn’t want to leave my house. I was sick of people, of games, of myself, my friends, and anytime I did anything some idiot had an opinion about it. What I should do or be. The truth is I didn’t want to be anything at all sometimes, I wanted to be nothing. So I just didn’t leave bed. I was dissatisfied and craving some sort of boredom. The type of boredom where you sit in your house, in the same sheets and watch fucking mind-numbing TV, so I wrote a song about it.”

YUNGBLUD returns to his alternative roots while also taking creative risks with quirky yet detailed production, and considered instrumentation that simultaneously feels new and nostalgic, bringing an entirely refreshed energy to his music. He also delves deeper than ever before in his most honest and raw lyrical narration to date, with intricate and sophisticated wordplay that, teamed with that sonic shift, brings darkness and intensity to this new chapter.

As an artist who has vehemently pivoted from the music industry’s cookie-cutter definition of success, YUNGBLUD, ironically, has been topping the charts and filling the mantlepiece since the very beginning of his phenomenal rise. Following his self-titled EP and full-length 2018 debut, ‘21st Century Liability’, he went on to win ‘Best Music Video’ at the NME Awards in February 2020 and Best Alternative Artist at the 2021 MTV EMAs. Over the years, he has performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 countries and played some of the world’s biggest festivals. YUNGBLUD released the coming-of-age album ‘weird!’ in 2020, which debuted at #1 on the UK Official Album Chart. He also launched ‘The YUNGBLUD Podcast’ on BBC Sounds in 2020, where he meets young music fans who are approaching turning points in their lives, to discuss topics and issues affecting young people today whether it be gender, sexuality, identity, money worries, friendships, style, or mental health. YUNGBLUD’s third full-length album ‘YUNGBLUD’, marked an exciting and unique chapter. The album went to #1 in six countries and has achieved over 423M streams since its release in September 2022.

Yungblud has just completed a huge run of sold-out arenas in the UK and Europe, and South American festivals, on his headline tour titled YUNGBLUD – The World Tour. Now, he will perform 4 headline shows with special guest JESSE JO STARK across Asia including Manila. YUNGBLUD ASIA TOUR LIVE IN MANILA will be the wildest and most fiery show of the year for all Filipino Black Hearts Club.
