U.K. alt-rock star Yungblud has confirmed that his highly anticipated 2026 Australian tour will proceed as scheduled, even as he suspends all remaining global performances for the rest of 2025 following urgent medical advice. The announcement has reassured thousands of fans across Australia who feared his January shows might be in jeopardy.
Medical Concerns Force Yungblud to Halt All 2025 Performances
The Doncaster-born artist revealed via Instagram on Nov. 16 that recent vocal and blood test results raised health concerns requiring an immediate pause from touring. Yungblud, known for his explosive stage presence and relentless touring schedule, admitted that slowing down is difficult for him.
“My voice and blood tests have raised some concerns,” he wrote.
“My doctor has ordered me to take a break from touring until the end of the year… I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself.”
The singer acknowledged that pushing himself to extremes has long been part of his identity, but this time, he said, “I have to take it seriously.”
Australian Dates Fully Confirmed for January 2026
While his remaining U.S., Mexico and Latin American shows have been cancelled through late 2025, promoter Frontier Touring has officially confirmed that Australia is unaffected.
“The Australian dates in 2026 remain as scheduled,” the company told media.
“We’re looking forward to seeing Yungblud in January and extend our best wishes while he rests and recovers.”
The Australian leg marks Yungblud’s largest headline tour in the region to date, reflecting the explosive growth of his fanbase across Oceania.
