SINGER-SONGWRITER Yungblud has taken to the stage in Brighton.

The musician performed at the Brighton Dome on Monday night – the first concert of a run of headline shows across the UK.

Dressed all in red, Yungblud, real name Dominic Harrison, rocked the stage as part of his Life On Mars tour.

Before the show, Yungblud said he was excited to “get back on the road.

“It’s been too long now,” he said. “These shows are going to be double the energy, double the emotion, double the passion.

“These are biggest rooms I’ve ever played so be expecting a spectacle. I’ve have had a year trapped in a room and my ADHD needs to have some gasoline put on it and set me on fire - let’s get it.”

The singer released his debut single King Charles in 2017.

Since then, the Doncaster-born performer has released a further studio album, one live album, six EPs, 25 singles and 22 music videos.

His second album Weird! was released in late 2020 and peaked atop the UK Albums Chart.

The 24-year-old was due to appear live in Brighton on March 31, but the gig was postponed due to Covid-19 lockdown. A rescheduled hour-long show took place at Chalk on August 23. .

Yungblud has garnered more than 1.4 billion streams worldwide and has over 8.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Over the years, the singer has performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 countries and played at festivals including Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Vans Warped Tour.
