Yungblud Vows To Play European Festivals Despite Breaking His Leg

Yungblud has fractured his leg in a motorbike accident but insists that his upcoming concerts will continue as planned.

The Doncaster musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, shared photographs on social media on Sunday, August 16, showing himself using crutches with his injured leg wrapped in bandages.

“Leg fucked. Still giggin. Still standin (sort of),” he wrote, before assuring fans that he still intends to appear at Pukkelpop and CA Vilar de Mouros in Europe this week.

“Portugal and Belgium I’m comin and it’s gonna be fucking mad,” Harrison continued. “See you next week. Let’s ride.”

A spokesperson for Yungblud confirmed to Billboard that he broke his leg during a minor motorbike accident at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, last week.

According to Setlist.FM, Yungblud performed at the event on August 9. The appearance came after his Lollapalooza set in Chicago in July and several other North American concerts. His summer schedule has also included European events such as the Czechia edition of BludFest.

Yungblud is currently touring behind his double album ‘Idols’, whose second half was released earlier in 2026. At a recent Montana show, Harrison welcomed a couple onto the stage to announce the gender of their baby.

Last month, Smashing Pumpkins brought Yungblud onstage during their headline performance at Lollapalooza.

Earlier this summer, Harrison withdrew from Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary and explained that he needed time to “work on myself”.

“I’m taking this extremely seriously and facing head on what’s going on for the good of the long term,” he said. “I will never take any of this for granted and I will see you all soon. I love you all.”

Yungblud received his first Grammy this year for Best Rock Performance, recognising his live version of ‘Changes’ from Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert.

In a four star assessment of both parts of ‘Idols’, NME wrote: “It bookmarks the latest chapter in the story of Dominic Harrison with a fairytale ending, now living with the freedom of thought that once eluded him. Sonically, the double album might not redefine the future of rock, but – as the soundtrack to his most successful era yet – it has helped guarantee the future of Yungblud.”
