Recalling his first livestream performance of 2020, YUNGBLUD says, "This was a monumental moment in my career. It became bigger than any of us ever anticipated. I'm craving to get back on stage every single day and can't wait to do this with some incredible guests. It's been so hard for independent venues. I wanted to partner with NIVA because independent venues are the backbone of the music industry and give young artists the chance to have their music heard. everyone has been missing a rock n roll show, I think it's about time we gave them one!"
YouTube launched the
Music Nights series last year following Save Our Stages Fest in association with the
National Independent Venue Association (NIVA). The YouTube Giving "donate button" will appear on the watch page during YUNGBLUD's livestream, making it easy for fans to support the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund, which benefits independent music venues impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. YUNGBLUD will also be releasing an LTD shirt, with all proceeds going to the NIVA fund.
YUNGBLUD's new album, weird! (Interscope), debuted at No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart in December 2020. The collection includes "mars," a new song that he performed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

David Bowie song "Life on Mars?" was heard as the Perseverance Mars Rover touched down on the Red Planet last month.
