Yungblud at The Danforth Music Hall - Concert Photos

Yungblud is a force of nature. His unbridled energy and the boundless love of his fans come together for a uniquely powerful experience. When they took to The Danforth Music Hall stage in Toronto, Yungblud and his band ran miles, pounded out tunes, burned calories and whipped a crowd into an ultra-devotional frenzy with his infectious tunes, tireless energy and positive, inclusive message.

This was my third time seeing Yungblud and his band perform live, and each time they do something that I'd normally consider impossible - they take the level of the performance even higher. The first time I caught Yungblud's show was at NXNE in Toronto in 2018. I had only heard "I Love You, Will You Marry Me" and the performance blew me away. The next time it was at a jam-packed Rivoli and although he had a broken leg, the performance was gripping, powerful and featured unbridled energy and love from Yungblud himself and his fans.

This show was in a much, much bigger venue, but it had intimate energy stemming from the way Yungblud manages to engage each and every member of the audience, growing the connection and positive vibes. He's got an inclusive message of family, safety, acceptance, tolerance, unity and love. My heart grew with the deafening cheer from the crowd when they were asked if anyone ever felt like an outcast or like a freak. We are truly each other’s freaks. The admiration the fans display borders on the unreal as they scream and cheer unrelentingly between songs.

For this show, Yungblud did something amazing that he hadn't done at the other shows I saw. He came out and performed acoustically in the middle of the crowd. It was powerful and unifying. There were so many other musical highlights that I couldn't do them justice. In addition to his own tunes, Yungblud performed a MGK cover and took the crowd participation up another level with a split singalong during "Die for the Hype".
