“The meaning to his music, the way he is, the way he respects his fans…” This month, @yungblud has been tearing across the UK on a sold-out arena tour, bringing his ambitious amped-up blend of classic rock, punk, pop and much more besides to some of the biggest venues his homeland has to offer. And it somehow feels like he’s still in the ascendancy. But who are the tens of thousands who turn out each night to witness Dominic Harrison deliver one of the most exhilarating live shows of the year? We took a trip to Manchester’s AO Arena to meet the Black Hearts Club and find out what they love most about YUNGBLUD’s music and why he proves such a divisive figure amongst rock fans.

On Friday night I had the incredible pleasure of going to @yungblud ‘s show in Leeds for @kerrangmagazine_ where me and @jingle1991 shot/wrote a review of the northern rocker. Supporting him were @thewarningrockband who were 🔥🔥🔥 and @themolotovs whom we also did a little backstage thing with (more on this next week, and thank you for being so lovely 🙏). I’m excited to take my Mum along to the Manchester show next week ✨ Thank you @expectation_mgmt ❤️ I love my silly job x ~~~~ #yungblud #yungbludarmy #leeds #kerrang

My edit of my pics from 2026’s @mcrpunkfest - pictures shot for @sxswlondon (thank you so much @ryanbassil ❤️ I love this festival so much. Pretty much every year I only know a handful of bands but discover so many absolute 🔥🔥🔥 acts both old and new. The punk scene is so warm and welcoming and silly and all the love to @tnsrecords for having me back to photograph yet again. I can’t wait for next year already x ~~~~ #manchesterpunkfestival #punk #ukpunk #moshpits

“I feel like they’ve got one of the most loyal fandoms out there. Every year you come to a show and see the same people. That’s so cool…” As Waterparks’ Prowler Tour hits Leeds, we meet the band’s diehard fans to find out why the words of Awsten Knight strike such a chord, which lyrics stay in their heads, and how the fandom is stronger than ever – link in bio 🔗 ✍️📸: @thepitsnapper

“I just think there’s nothing that really equates to it in modern music at the minute. No-one’s as good…” In the midst of @deftones ’ biggest UK tour to date, we hit Manchester’s Co-op Live to meet their still-growing fanbase and find out what they love so much about the band – as well as trying to settle the nu-metal debate 👀 Link in bio ✍️📸: @thepitsnapper

The pit to end all pits - or at least the life of the woman in blue. The most popular thing I’ve ever done and it was a phone video of a light’s on @limpbizkit gig. This is from a few years ago and blew up on TikTok and my main account. Note: the woman in blue was fine!

“It’s rough, it melts your face off, but it’s also got an incredible amount of emotion in it…” This past weekend (February 8), @lornashore kicked off the UK leg of their mammoth European headline run with Whitechapel, Shadow Of Intent and Humanity’s Last Breath at London’s Alexandra Palace. Braving the classic British winter and constant rain, thousands of deathcore diehards turned out to welcome the New Jersey heavies as only the capital can. But who are Lorna Shore’s fans, and what draws them to such brutal music? We took a trek up that damn hill to find out – link in bio 🔗 ✍️📸: @thepitsnapper
