Yungblud is back after last year’s performance. The press clippings for Rock Werchter 2019 gave us: ‘Generation Z’s answer to Johnny Rotten’ and ‘Entertainment at the limits for forty-five minutes’. Yungblud, born Dominic Harrison, smashed it at #RW19. The twenty-something Brit established himself as a socially engaged artist with the protest songs of the day. It might be in his genes: grandfather Rick played guitar for T. Rex in the ’70s, father Sam is a vintage guitar dealer. Dominic left school at 16 and immersed himself in punk, ska and hip-hop. Single #2 “I love you, will you marry me” (2017) did well and brought out the red carpet for him. Big hits also came in collaboration with Halsey (11 minutes) and Machine Gun Kelly (I think I’m okay). ‘Anarchy still alive in the UK: Yungblud puts a contemporary twist on it’ went the headline in De Standaard the day after his sell-out appearance at the AB in Brussels.
