⇹Festival Appearance
Internationally acclaimed musician Yungblud has returned with a landmark new single ‘Lowlife,’ out now
via Locomotion/Geffen Records, following a premiere with Zane Lowe on Apple Music. His breakneck
voyage through the alt cosmos continues, with ‘Lowlife’ marking a fresh new era - visually, sonically and
creatively - for the artist who has undeniably become the voice of Gen-Z, using his music to unite and
empower the youth of today.
‘Lowlife’ is perhaps Yungblud’s most honest creation to date. Delivered with fervor and passion, it is an
energetic, rebellious and turbo-charged anthem, fusing hard-edge melodies, heavy basslines and raw,
vulnerable lyrics. It marks the beginning of a sonic and creative shift that sees Yungblud return to his
alternative roots while also taking creative risks with quirky yet detailed production, and considered
instrumentation that simultaneously feels both new and nostalgic.
Listen to ‘Lowlife’ HERE.
Speaking about the track, Yungblud 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, 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.”
He neglected the notion of being beholden to influences when writing the single and entered the studio
with producer Paul Meany with no references or preconceived idea of the outcome. He says “I’ve not
been going into the studio intent on making something like, ‘Close To Me’ or ‘Born This Way’ or ‘Life On
Mars’. We’d start with a blank canvas each time, bring up a beat and see what the f**k happens.”
The single was teased last week when Yungblud sent hand-written notes to fans’ letterboxes around the
world, detailing locations in London, Los Angeles and Germany, where blacked-out cars emblazoned with
the single title popped up, attracting masses of fans who gathered in their thousands to experience the
single for the first time
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. He embarks on the US leg throughout
June, July and August performing to his biggest North American crowds to date. Starting on June 27 in
St. Petersburg, FL and making stops in Philadelphia, Montreal, Toronto, Indianapolis, New York,
Boston, Nashville, Kansas City, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and more, before concluding
August 6 in Seattle, WA. For a full list of tour dates and to purchase tickets, go to:

Since the beginning of his phenomenal rise, he has nurtured a vast collective of dedicated fans around
the globe, with a social following of over 14.5 million and accumulating billions of streams, cementing him
firmly amongst the top alternative artists of his generation. With more music to come throughout 2023,
Yungblud’s trajectory is looking brighter and more exciting than ever.
‘Lowlife’ is out everywhere now.
