Too much Idols ain’t enough. Yungblud knows it, and today (Feb. 20), he shows it with the “Complete” edition of his Grammy-nominated Idols.

Billed as Idols II, the extended version includes a fresh batch of seven tracks, including a new version of “Zombie” featuring The Smashing Pumpkins.


Idols (Complete) “Disc 2” also houses the six previously unheard tracks: “I Need You (To Make the World Seem Fine),” “The Postman,” “Time,” “War Part II,” “Blueberry Hill” and “Suburban Requiem.”

“This is it. The second chapter of the Idols story,” the British rocker wrote earlier in the week, announcing the expanded release. “Part 1 was a journey that helped me reclaim my identity from the darkest position I’ve ever been in my life. Part 2 is about realizing that I am alive, that I am real, that this journey that I’ve been on didn’t kill me. It’s about realizing that you can feel invincible when you actually feel yourself. It’s about comprehending that my heart is beating and that my lungs are filling up with air.”

A native of Doncaster, England, Yungblud (real name: Dominic Harrison) is enjoying a bright start to the year. Idols was nominated for best rock album at the 2026 Grammys, and its lead single, “Zombie,” for best rock song. He scooped his first Grammy at the 68th ceremony, winning best rock performance prize for his version of “Changes” performed at the July 2025 farewell show for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England.

Idols (via Universal), Yungblud’s fourth studio album, dropped in June 2025 and gave the artist his third consecutive No. 1 on the Official U.K. Chart. Then, in December 2025, he got a fourth when his collaboration with Aerosmith, One More Time, topped the national tally.

Thanks to his recent tour of Australia, Idols finally climbed to No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in January 2026, his second leader in the land down under, after his self-titled third album spent one week at No. 1 in 2022.

‘That’s What This Is All About’: Kevin Lyman on 30 Years of Vans Warped Tour and What Comes Next

"The industry talks a big game about artist development," Lyman says. "But we are willing to die trying."

When Kevin Lyman launched Vans Warped Tour in 1995, he made a decision that confused a lot of people in the industry: no headliners.

Every artist on the bill listed alphabetically, given equal billing, equal space on the poster. Three decades later, with Warped returning for its biggest edition yet — five two-day U.S. festivals across Washington D.C., Long Beach and Orlando, plus international debuts in Montreal and Mexico City — that decision looks less like idealism and more like foresight.
