YUNGBLUD Announces IDOLS II: Release Date, Tracklist, GRAMMY Win & UK Tour 2026

Fresh from making history at the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards, YUNGBLUD is expanding his chart-topping era with IDOLS II — the explosive second chapter to his 2025 UK Number 1 album IDOLS.

The digital release lands TODAY 20th February 2026, bringing six brand-new tracks and a powerful continuation of one of the most talked-about rock albums of the decade.

For fans of modern British rock, alternative pop, and genre-defying anthems, IDOLS II is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2026.

YUNGBLUD's GRAMMY Win & Historic Nominations

Born Dominic Richard Harrison in Doncaster, England, YUNGBLUD has become one of the defining voices of his generation. In 2026, he:

Won Best Rock Performance at the 68th GRAMMY Awards
Became the first British artist ever to receive three rock-category nominations in a single year (Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album)
This milestone cements his position alongside contemporary global rock heavyweights — and signals how far he's come since his debut.

From 21st Century Liability to Four UK Number 1 Albums

YUNGBLUD's rise has been meteoric:

2018 – 21st Century Liability (debut album)
2020 – weird! (UK Official Albums Chart No.1)
2022 – YUNGBLUD (self-titled, UK No.1)
2025 – IDOLS (UK No.1 on debut)
2025 – One More Time (collaborative Aerosmith project, UK No.1)

With four Official UK Number 1 albums, YUNGBLUD has firmly established himself as one of Britain's most commercially successful and culturally impactful rock artists of the 2020s.

What Is IDOLS II?

IDOLS II is a digital repack of 2025's IDOLS, expanding the original record into a 19-track collection. It represents “Part 2” of the conceptual arc.

YUNGBLUD describes the project as:

“The second chapter of the Idols story… Part 2 is about realising that I am alive, that I am real… that this journey didn’t kill me.”

Where Part 1 explored identity and darkness, IDOLS II leans into survival, defiance, and emotional rebirth.
