Yungblud photo exhibition by Tom Pallant to open in London
Behind The Gallery is proud to announce the London exclusive debut of YUNGBLUD: IDOLS, an intimate and electrifying photography exhibition by acclaimed British photographer and three-time Abbey Road Music Photography Award winner Tom Pallant. The exhibition opens 20th November 2026 at Union Pacific, 17 Goulston Street, E1 7TP and is free entry.
The exhibition features an album playback on Friday 20th November and an artist Q&A with Tom Pallant on Saturday 21st November (more details below).
Pallant, YUNGBLUD’s long-time trusted photographer and creative director, has been at the artist’s side for years, documenting his rise through pandemonium-filled sold-out concerts around the world, three Grammy nominations, four number 1 albums, and a catalyst performance at Villa Park for Back to the Beginning. Through it all, Pallant has documented every moment through personal, bold, and artistically distinct imagery.
The IDOLS exhibition represents the latest chapter of that collaboration, spanning the recording and writing process, the initial release of the album, and the live shows where these songs were played. The result is an immersive body of work that captures the raw energy, vulnerability and rebellion that define one of the most influential alt-rock figures of a generation.” These timeless, black-and-white shots capture YUNGBLUD like no one else can.
The London exhibition marks an exclusive showcase for the collection in the UK, following its world debut in Sydney earlier this year, where it was met with an overwhelming response from fans. Many of the photographs on display have never been seen publicly, offering audiences an unprecedented window into the IDOLS era and the world YUNGBLUD has built around it.
All prints are museum-quality limited edition archival works on fine art Hahnemuhle paper, hand-signed by Tom Pallant and available to purchase at the gallery.
Tom Pallant, whose work has earned him three consecutive wins at the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards, said: "Being able to bring this show to London and share the IDOLS world at home is going to be super special. As we close the chapter on IDOLS, this feels like the right moment to bring together a collection of our favourite work, including a lot of images that both we and others might have missed along the way. This exhibition builds on the foundation we made in Sydney. I've always been drawn to the moments that happen around a performance as much as the performance itself, the exhaustion, the chaos, the feeling of putting everything you have into something. I'm hoping people are able to view IDOLS as a whole project and see the journey we all went on."
Stephen Dallimore, Creative Director of Behind The Gallery, said: "Tom Pallant's photography uniquely captures the raw emotional energy of Yungblud, an artist who has taken the world by storm, and it feels only right that UK fans now get to be part of that story. It's very rare that one photographer can tell an artist's world like Tom can with Yungblud. Over the course of the exhibition, we'll celebrate with fans these powerful images through photography, music and storytelling."
