Yungblud has announced a documentary film titled ‘Yungblud. Are You Ready, Boy?’, hitting cinemas worldwide on August 20 & 24.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale, the two-hour-long documentary was shot at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, the birthplace of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’, U2’s ‘Achtung Baby!’ and countless other iconic albums.
The film follows Yungblud and his band as he records live performances of tracks from his latest album, ‘Idols’, for the very first time. With no live audience present, it offers an unapologetic behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and the performances in their purest form.
Speaking about the process of making the film, Yungblud has said:
“I wanted to make a film that truly documents where we are right now, at this moment, around the release of my most ambitious album to date. Berlin has always radiated complete, unfiltered truth. Every time I’ve visited Hansa Studios, it’s just fucking iconic…You can feel the history in Hansa; it’s in the silence between takes, the ceiling looming over you. You’re standing in the shadows of all these legends and asking yourself ‘who the fuck am I? And what am I gonna leave behind?’”
With screenings taking place in cinemas in 30 countries across the globe – including 150 UK cinemas – tickets will go on sale on July 17 here.

Speaking about the project, director Paul Dugdale has said:
“When we made this film, it was in that special twilight zone between the record being finished and people hearing it for the first time. I always think of that moment before a release as such a unique time for an artist and it’s an extraordinary period to document because we can enter into it without any external noise or pre-conception. It allowed us to make something unaffected by the outside world, and there’s a really pleasing purity about that. We got to live in a moment with Dom, free of any external opinion and start a relationship from a totally blank canvas.
“The opportunity to capture Yungblud at such a turbulent but rewarding moment of change, was an absolute privilege. Dom gave himself completely to the filmmaking process and I feel so proud of what we achieved together.”
Yungblud will head out on a huge UK arena tour in 2026, kicking off at Dublin’s 3Arena and including stops at Manchester’s AO Arena and The O2 in London.
