Concert Details and Ticket Information
The show is scheduled for Thursday, April 23, at Utilita Arena Birmingham. This marks a swift return for Yungblud, who captivated Brummie crowds at Ozzy Osbourne's Back to the Beginning event, where his performance of Changes earned critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.

Performance Schedule and Set List
Doors open at 6pm, with the show starting at 7pm and a curfew set for 11pm. Based on recent performances, fans can expect a dynamic set list that includes hits from Yungblud's Idols album, released in June last year.
