This month I finally got to catch Yungblud at his ACL late night show in Austin.

After seeing him briefly at this year’s Warped Tour, I was immediately enamored with Yungblud and made it a priority to see him at ACL Festival. I had the opportunity to catch him a few nights before his set at an ACL Festival late night show opening for The Wombats and honestly, it was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.

After a long day braving the heat at the festival, I made my way to Emo’s, running behind for the 10pm doors. I was exhausted, in desperate need of a shower and some Whataburger, but nevertheless excited to finally get to see a full Yungblud set.

As soon as Yungblud hit the stage, I was suddenly full of energy, the exhaustion of the day all but disappeared. I have a habit of scream-singing along to my favorite bands while in the photo pit, I’d like to think it’s endearing but who really knows, and this set was no exception. I was singing and dancing along while trying to keep the pace of Yungblud’s high-energy performance, never wanting it to be over.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who puts so much of themselves into a performance. Yungblud is one hundred percent authentic and full energy at all times, the definition of an entertainer.

With his remarkable live show and music that is breaking molds, I guarantee we’ll be seeing a lot more of Yungblud in the near future, and I can’t wait.

Also, if you haven’t already, give Yungblud’s debut album, 21st Century Liability, a listen! My favorite tracks are : Polygraph Eyes, Die For the Hype, and California!
