Yungblud is back to announce a new album, IDOLS, out on June 20th. He’s also offered “Lovesick Lullaby” as the latest preview of IDOLS, and shared a slew of North American and UK/EU 2025 tour dates.
IDOLS serves as the British singer-songwriter’s fourth studio LP, and is part one of an upcoming double album. Thematically, it finds Yungblud digging into the idea of “hero worship” and needing validation from others. “We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change,” Yungblud said in a press release. “As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalize everything; our cage walls build up. We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we’ve even had our breakfast.”
Yungblud will be heading on a North American tour in support of IDOLS; the run kicks off on August 23rd in Los Angeles and continues through cities like San Diego, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Brooklyn, Boston, and more; the run ends on September 21st in Toronto before Yungblud heads off to Europe for the next leg of the tour. Sawyer Hill will open on each date. See his full list of tour dates below.

To preview IDOLS, Yungblud has revealed a new song, “Lovesick Lullaby.” Following the prior nine-minute single “Hello Heaven, Hello,” “Lovesick Lullaby” is decidedly more concise and features a Britpop-centric sound. He narrates tales of wrong choices and missed opportunities over beaming guitars, at one point rapping “I always pick the wrong people/ they make me feel like I’m sick in the head” before launching into the chorus, “I wanna feel good emotions in this lovesick lullaby.” Listen to the song and watch its video below.
IDOLS is Yungblud’s first new album since his 2022 self-titled record. Revisit his appearance last year on Going There with Dr. Mike, where the singer and songwriter takes a deep dive into his mental health journey.
