Yungblud is set to play a massive gig in Leeds this week, as the Yorkshire-born rocker returns to his home county.
The boundary-pushing artist from Doncaster will take the stage at the First Direct Arena on Friday 17 April as part of his Idols World Tour.
Announcing the tour last year, he said: "UK. It’s been two years! I’m so excited to announce our biggest shows yet... Let’s go."
Yungblud has amassed legions of fans since exploding onto the scene in 2018 with his debut album 21st Century Liability.
And thousands of those fans - who call themselves the Black Hearts Club - will be gathering together this week to see him performing at Leeds' First Direct Arena.
Over the course of his career, Yungblud has collaborated with artists such as Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, and Denzel Curry, with notable hits including 'I Think I'm Okay', 'Zombie' and 'Parents'.
He's had three albums hit the top of the UK Albums Chart, including last year's Idols, which has lent its name to this world tour.
And you might recognise him as the vocal talent trusted to take the place of Ozzy Osbourne, performing Changes as a tribute following the rock legend's death.
If you're one of the lucky ones with tickets to see Yungblud at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, here's everything you need to know.
Tickets
Yungblud at First Direct Arena, Leeds - stage times, setlist, support and more
We've already mentioned that Yungblud has a massive, and very dedicated fan base - which means the show is almost completely sold out... but not quite.
A handful of standing tickets have appeared for sale, priced at £54.50.
There are also a few resale tickets popping up - you can check the latest through Ticketmaster HERE.
Support act
Yungblud has two excellent groups supporting him on the Idols World Tour, including here in Leeds.
Opening the show will be The Molotovs, an sibling rock band from London who released their debut album, Wasted on Youth, earlier this year.
Then the main support will come from The Warning, a Mexican rock group which, coincidentally, is also made up of siblings - this time the Villarreal Vélez sisters: Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra.

If you want that barricade, the queue will likely start early tomorrow morning, with a numbering system in place.
An independent music festival in South Yorkshire has been forced to cancel.
It's official, music festival season is on the horizon and it's getting us very excited to be stood in a field with a pint of cider in our grasp.
But unfortunately, that won't be the case for those looking to attend Reytfest - an independent music festival 'run my music fans by music fans'.
Set to take place at the end of June, the festival announced on Tuesday 12 May that they have had to cancel the event due to 'the cost of living crisis'.
Posting the news to Instagram, Reytfest said: "We have had to make the heartbreaking decision to not go ahead with the REYT FEST event this June. This is due primarily to poor ticket sales which we can only attribute to the cost of living crisis.
"We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the festival, from the bands, vendors, stakeholders, suppliers and all other interested parties. We’d also like to thank you, our followers, liking and sharing our posts really built our fanbase, but especially to those of you who purchased tickets.
"Rest assured your ticket money will be refunded and please don’t get disheartened by this news, keep on booking live events whether its grassroots music in a local bar to big band stadium events or something completely different such as theatres, cinema, sports, etc, if people don’t buy tickets, they will disappear.
"We had a dream that unfortunately we can’t see through to fruition on this occasion, but we’ve learnt so much and we don’t want to throw all that knowledge and experience away, so when the time is right - watch this space!! Thank you - Jon (Brad), Ian, Jess and the rest of the REYT FEST Team."
