An intimate look into the life, process and power of rock’s brightest young star is debuting in Sydney.
The nosebleed section is typically as close as most people get to stars like Yungblud, save VIP meet and greets or chance encounters, but a world-exclusive photography gallery from legendary rock photographer Tom Pallant might offer a perspective you can’t find anywhere else.
Yungblud: IDOLS gathers Pallant’s work with Yungblud over the last 18 months of the young firebrand’s career, crafting a visual narrative that can take visitors behind the scenes and stage to get a glimpse into the Doncaster-born star’s life. It’s timed to coincide with his Sydney concert too, making it a must-see for any fans pre-show.
Mixing personal moments with pivotal scenes, Pallant has captured an evolution, frame by frame, of one of the most influential figures of modern alt-rock. The work is officially endorsed by Yungblud, who considers Pallant a creative collaborator, not just a go-to photographer.
Discussing the debut of the gallery, Pallant said,“Being able to showcase the IDOLS world physically for the first time is really special—especially in Australia, where fans have been some of the most supportive since Yungblud’s inception”.
Pallant added “This collection has taken shape over the last 18 months throughout the recording and writing process, the initial release, and the first shows where these songs were played live. Stepping into the IDOLS world has been an incredible experience. Building it from the ground up has been deeply rewarding, and we’re so excited to finally share these images, some of which will be seen for the first time.”

The gallery comes together with the support of Behind The Gallery, music photography specialists who aim to elevate contemporary music with gallery-grade visual storytelling. Stephen Dallimore, Creative Director at Behind The Gallery, said “Tom Pallant’s photography uniquely captures the raw emotional and electric energy of Yungblud…It’s very rare that one photographer can tell an artist’s story like Tom can with Yungblud”.
The gallery will take place at 551 King Street, Newtown, from Thursday, January 8 to Sunday, January 11. On Friday, January 9th, the gallery will throw a full album playback, while on Saturday, January 10th — the night of his Sydney concert — it will host a pre-concert meetup for fans headed to Qudos Bank Arena for the show.
