Yungblud world tour will have mental health 'safe space' for fans

Yungblud has revealed he will be playing new music on tour along with introducing increased safety measures for fans. The rock musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, kicked off Yungblud: The World Tour at Cardiff International Arena last Thursday.

As part of his series of gigs throughout the UK, Europe and the US he is offering specialist mental health support for fans attending his concerts. During the shows, a safe space – which will have qualified councillors, alongside a helpdesk to answer any questions will be available – and an email helpline outside the arenas will provide help.

Yungblud spoke to the PA news agency about additional safety measures he is putting in place to prevent physical harm coming to fans following recent concert deaths. The 25-year-old said: “We’re basically building our stage like it is at a festival, (we’re) putting a runway down the middle of it, to split the crowd out because I know a lot of people feel unsafe because like my gigs go f****** nuts.”
