Fresh from performing on-stage at Back to the Beginning, Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert in Birmingham, England, Yungblud is headed out on the road. The English singer was singled out for his performance at the star-studded metal extravaganza, and will now be setting out on tour to support his new album Idols, which was released last month. The tour kicks off on July 25 in metal-mad Romania, and will wind through Europe, then make its way to Japan, the United States, and Canada before looping back to the continent to conclude in Italy on Halloween. The tour will then resume next April for a series of dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The musician has had a long association with Osbourne: Yungblud considers the British metal legend to be one of his idols, and both Ozzy and his wife, Sharon, appeared in Yungblud's 2022 music video for his song "The Funeral.

British rock act Yungblud is the latest musician to get the documentary treatment, as “Yungblud. Are You Ready, Boy?” is set for a theatrical release in August.

The documentary will follow Yungblud (whose real name is Dominic Harrison) at the famed Hansa Studios in Berlin, the same studio where David Bowie recorded Heroes, Iggy Pop made Lust for Life and U2 record Achtung Baby!, and where the singer recorded live performances of his latest album Idols, which came out June 20.

“I wanted to make a film that truly documents where we are right now, at this moment, around the release of my most ambitious album to date,” Yungblud said in a statement. “Berlin has always radiated complete, unfiltered truth. Every time I’ve visited Hansa Studios, it’s just fucking iconic. You can feel the history in Hansa; it’s in the silence between takes, the ceiling looming over you.

Sonic Youth have announced the official reissue of their lost bootleg, Walls Have Ears, set for release on February 9th, 2024. In honor of the announcement, the band has shared what is believed to be the first official recording of their fan favorite song “Expressway to Yr Skull.”

Previously released in 1986 as a 2xLP set that quickly went out of print, Walls Have Ears features recordings of three seminal Sonic Youth performances during the band’s second visit to the UK. A press release describes the bootleg as “not just a live album but an artful tapestry full of live experimentation with songs, between-song tape segues, darkness, humor and audio verité.”

The album is available for pre-order now, and will be sold digitally as well as on vinyl, CD, and cassette. A deluxe vinyl edition is available to pre-order, featuring exclusive materials including a previously-unreleased performance of “(She’s In a) Bad Mood.
