British rocker Yungblud, 28, turned heads in Sydney this week as he kicked off festivities for the Australian leg of his IDOLS World Tour with a wild yacht party.
Known offstage as Dominic Richard Harrison, the singer lived up to his promise of entertaining “cougars” as he stripped down for a skinny dip in the harbour, showing off his tattooed physique while laughing and joking with friends.
A Raucous Yacht Celebration
The party, held on a sunny Thursday, included guests like local socialite Dina Broadhurst, 50, who is often dubbed a “nude artist” for featuring herself in provocative photography.
While Yungblud went fully au naturel, Dina opted for a tiny pink bikini and sunglasses, enjoying the antics with a smile.
Also in attendance was Dina’s on-off millionaire boyfriend John Winning Jr., heir to Winning Appliances, who appeared shirtless but kept his lower half covered with a towel.
Their presence hinted that, despite a recent breakup, the pair remain on friendly terms.
Friends, Fun, and Unexpected Company
Other guests included a woman in a brown one-piece swimsuit and another who seemed to be the yacht’s captain.
the exact connection between Yungblud and Dina or John wasn’t clear, but the trio’s playful energy suggested a relaxed and lively atmosphere on the water.
The party followed Yungblud’s cheeky Instagram post welcoming “the cougars” to his Australian tour, teasing fans ahead of his performances.
The Cougar Connection
Yungblud has openly shared that some of his most passionate fans are middle-aged women.
In an interview with news.com.au, he said, “I’m telling you, the older birds… it’s crazy. The nails are sharper.
I’m down for it. It’s definitely another generation’s vibe, but whatever man, rock’n’roll.”
Despite this playful engagement, the rocker remains devoted to his longtime girlfriend, LA-based singer and fashion designer Jesse Jo Stark, 34, whom he called “the love of my life” last year.
Kicking Off the IDOLS World Tour
The yacht antics were just a prelude to the start of Yungblud’s highly anticipated Australian shows.
His tour launches on Saturday, January 10, at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, a venue upgrade prompted by overwhelming demand.
The tour continues across Melbourne at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on January 13, Adelaide at the Entertainment Centre on January 15, Brisbane with two Riverstage shows on January 17-18, and wraps up in Perth at the Ice Cream Factory on January 20.
A Rockstar on a Global Stage
Yungblud has built a global reputation, with eight billion streams to his name, and has been celebrated for “bringing real rock music back from the dead.”
His fourth album, IDOLS, was released in June alongside the Paul Dugdale-directed documentary YUNGBLUD: Are You Ready, Boy?, further cementing his status as a high-energy performer ready to electrify audiences across Australia.
What Fans Can Expect
From yacht parties on Sydney Harbour to sold-out arenas across the country, Yungblud’s Australian tour promises a mix of wild fun and rock’n’roll spectacle.
Fans can expect a full display of the singer’s signature energy, along with the occasional cheeky surprise that keeps his shows as unpredictable as his music.
