The globally recognised singer-songwriter Yungblud made his live return last night with a surprise gig at Scala in London, where he played a short set of songs from his forthcoming album, including the nine minute epic single ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’.

The 27 year old artist from Doncaster, whose last two albums went to number 1 in the UK and broke into the Billboard top 100, announced the last minute gig on social media on Wednesday, giving fans the chance to secure free tickets online.

Yungblud took to the stage amidst rapturous applause at the packed London venue, opening with the brand-new ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’, which premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record on Wednesday evening (SEE VIDEO HERE – no credit required).

The artist took a moment to address the crowd after the first song, announcing, ‘It’s f*cking good to be back, before asking ‘are you ready to hear some songs off the new record?’ He then revealed the name of an unreleased, Blur-esque banger, stating, “‘This song’s called ‘Lovesick Lullaby’”, before launching into the uptempo anthem which had the room in a frenzy.

Before closing the set with another unreleased track, the artist urged the crowd to embrace the moment: “London, can I ask a favour of you? Can everyone put their phones away? This song is about comprehending your mortality because we are not f*cking here for very long… don’t forget to f*cking live man.”

The gig was Yungblud’s UK live appearance since August 2024 when he took the stage to headline his own curated festival Bludfest at The National Bowl, Milton Keynes. The festival will return for its second year in June of this year.
