When you hear the word “rockstar” there are various artist that come to mind such as Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi, and even Hayley Williams from Paramore. But there’s one artist on the list that needs to be added if he’s not in it and that guy’s name is YungBlud! With the excitement and charisma he brings to his shows are the definition of MUST SEE! On a hot sunny day in North Carolina in the middle of July, The Red Hat Amphitheater was ready to explode! YungBlud rolled into Raleigh, NC with his rocking “YungBlud The World Tour” in a venue filled to the brim. It was a night that no one would forget for years to come!
The show kicked off with the rising punk-rock trio Games We Play, they came out strong and in a short set was able to have a whole crowd singing along. The band definitely had a great upbeat feel to make anyone feel good!
The next group to hit the stage was the beloved alternative-indie band The Regrettes, they seem to be making waves through the indie scene and it showed. From the moment they touched the stage the audience in attendance stood up anticipating what song they would place first, and as soon as the cymbals rattled the crowd knew it was go time! The excitement and joy on everyone’s faces was such a good sight to see. The Regrettes brought the house down and showed out for everyone in attendance.
Once The Regrettes left the stage it was now time for headliner… The one and only YungBlud! It started off with a dope visual of YungBlud transitioning from the darkness which captured him perfectly, he then emerged from behind the panel and would waste no time telling the crowd to jump as he jumped right into "21st Century Liability” and right after that it was continuous performance of hit after hit! Playing songs such as “The Funeral”, “Tissues”, and “Parents” took the crowd by control and had everyone singing word for word. The biggest thing YungBlud had was crowd control and the way he was able to move everyone as one and make you feel connected to him on a personal level is something that not many artist are capable of doing. His voice and the sound of his music makes it easy for anyone to become a fan after a single listen.
The show never hit a slow point once it stopped, he consistently spoke with fans even asking what they wanted to hear and never dropped the ball once! He showed why he is an artist that you must see. YungBlud is a revolutionary talent that when you come across his music you’re put into a trance of great music, feel good vibes, and a stress free judgmental free life that most can only dream of. So when the song “Fleabag” was played the crowd erupted! With him preaching the message of being yourself and don’t listen to what anyone says it was an amazing night of freedom.
YungBlud’s “YungBlud World Tour” is a truly one of a kind show where you can kickback, let out all of your emotions, and truly be yourself. The tour will end on August 26th in Romano, so if you’re close whether its a 30 minute drive or 4 hour flight this is a tour you would not want to miss!
