The documentary film, featuring the globally recognised British artist, Yungblud, will receive its worldwide theatrical release with screenings running from August 20 to 24, courtesy of Trafalgar Releasing.
Tickets are now on sale at Yungblud.film, where you can also find full screening details, including newly added dates and locations.
The feature-length documentary was directed by three-time Grammy Award-nominated, Emmy® and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale (Adele: One Night Only, Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium, The Prodigy ‘Worlds on Fire’, Glastonbury Festival: Live at Worthy Farm).
A personal journey of change, confidence and rock-and-roll chaos, set against a city that has always celebrated counterculture and creativity, YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? is a revealing and uncompromising documentary about a generational artist finding his own voice.
Yungblud celebrated the release with a world premiere in London’s Leicester Square on Tuesday, August 12. The event was attended by director Paul Dugdale, artists Joan Armatrading, Nieve Ella, The Molotovs, and Chinchilla, along with Stranger Things star Amybeth McNulty and film producer Gabriel Jagger.
The 27 year-old British star greeted fans in attendance and gave a heartfelt speech before the film began. Standing onstage alongside the film’s producers and Paul Dugdale, he said, “This has been such a crazy journey. When I had this idea, my bucket list director was Paul [Dugdale] because I knew he’d tell the story with truth and authenticity. You have to be willing to allow the uncomfortable and the scary to be shown to the world, and I hope you love it. In a world where everything is so ‘TikTokable’ and ‘Instagrammable’, this is a film about imagination; allowing humanity and insecurity to shine. We need more of that in the world if we’re all a bit more real.
I feel honoured… this film had to be made. People need to see what it takes to make an album of this ambition. The whole point of going to Hansa Studios and this whole album [Idols] was about relinquishing a pedestal, walking amongst giants and seeing if you can do it. It’s also a story of friendship and love. My team and I come up with mad ideas in a room and somehow they happen. We’ve never had a hand up, it’s more of a kick in the face every time… so being here in Leicester Square is pretty cool. Thank you, Paul.“
Produced by B.R.A.T Productions in association with Aldgate Pictures, YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? offers a never-before-seen insight into Yungblud‘s creative process, including its trials and tribulations, against the backdrop of a city steeped in cultural history.
YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? will now screen in 1,152 cinemas, across 35 countries worldwide.
The documentary film features 12 brand new performances of tracks from Yungblud‘s fourth studio album, Idols.
