The rocker, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, jumped and hurled himself around the stage, delivering crowd pleasing favourites such as superdeadfriends, I Love You, Will You Marry Me and Loner.
“This is a show about the person that I am,” he declared.
“I am Yungblud, I am crazy, and I am f****** proud of that.”
He debuted tracks from his forthcoming self-titled album including ‘Tissues’ – which samples The Cure’s ‘Close To Me’ – and the soaring pop-rock anthem ‘I Cry 2!’ as pyro flares and smoke bombs lit up the arena.
