Yungblud is opening a new music venue in central London

Time Out3 days ago
The West End's Denmark Street has long been a centre of music history in the capital, with legends like Elton John, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones recording music at studios on the street in London's West End. Now a new musician has entered the chat, as Yungblud is opening up his own music venue on the street near Soho.
The 'parents' singer and former Time Out cover star told the Daily Star that his venue would be opening this year. 'I want people to hang out, meet and have a physical space to make real connections in this virtual world. There will be a leopard pool table downstairs,' he said.
'My biggest dream is to have clubs all over the world where my fanbase can hang out, seven days a week, open all day and at night. London is hopefully just the first one.'
Yungblud hasn't revealed any more information about the venue that will be at 20 Denmark Street. The singer has openly criticised the high prices of tickets to live music nowadays, and the live music venue comes after he launched his own 'community-focussed' festival BludFest in 2024.
In an interview last year, Yungblud told Time Out: 'All I'm trying to do is serve my community with good intentions, build something new and try to change the bullshit system.'

Going out in your city makes you happier, according to new Australian research

Yes, we understand – it's tempting to spend your winter nights bundled up in bed like a burrito. But it's time to strip off the Oodie and step outside, because it's seriously good for your wellbeing. And no, we're not just talking about a quick walk around the block. New Australian research proves that regularly attending in-person events – think festivals, musicals, exhibitions, sports, markets and foodie gatherings – gives your mood a real boost and fills you with positive emotions. Here at Time Out, we've always championed getting out and about, and now this study just proves we were right all along. The new research, led by the University of South Australia and Flinders University, surveyed more than 350 South Australians about how often they attended in-person and online events and how this related to their wellbeing. When comparing the two, they found that attending more face-to-face events led to a boost in positive emotions like joy, happiness and excitement. Plus, the more often a person attended events in the flesh, the more immersed and engaged they felt, making time fly by unnoticed. Flinders University senior lecturer Dr Eliza Kitchen said, 'What we found is that events do much more than just drive tourism and boost the economy; they also play a critical role in enhancing wellbeing. This gives us another strong reason to support events, not just for visitors, but for the benefits of locals as well.' While there's still a space for virtual events, the researchers found that online or livestreamed experiences only increase people's sense of accomplishment – but don't have the same positive impact on other aspects of wellbeing that in-person events deliver. So, if you're looking to boost your happiness levels, here are a few cool things you can do in Australia: 🎬

Club where Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie played commemorated by book

A book to celebrate the 60th anniversary of a club that brought music legends to Cheltenham is being Gone To The Moon was written by Richard Goddard, Dave Jackson, Chris Stanbury and Mike Williams, who are former members of the Blue Moon Club. The High Street venue attracted music fans from all over the country, as well as from the US. Jimi Hendrix, Sir Elton John and David Bowie, who were all relatively unknown at the time, were just some of the artists who performed during the two-year period the venue was open for. Mr Williams said "it was that buzz of being among people that were all likeminded" that made the club so special. Former members still reunite a few times every year to dance and listen to music from the Williams was there on the opening night, which was headlined by the Bo Street Runners, a London R&B band."Their claim to fame was Mick Fleetwood was their drummer," he said."He went on to play for Fleetwood Mac of course, but we never saw or heard from them again." One of the most famous nights in the Blue Moon's two years came in February 1967, when Jimi Hendrix Goddard jumped the queue, which trailed back to The Promenade."I went along having heard him on the radio, he was up-and-coming," he said."We got in but it was absolutely rammed. The capacity was about 350 or 360 but there was over 700 in there." The Blue Moon Club closed in May 1967 after the owners decided to change than 500 members of the club came forward to contribute to the book."The publisher basically said 'Stop', we were putting too much into it and he's prompted us with a few ways we could go forward, something like a second edition," Mr Goddard said."A lot of people have put a lot of effort into giving us this information."

Groundbreaking discovery of 29,000-year-old human skeleton in remote cave

Archaeologists have discovered the oldest human skeleton ever found in Thailand, a stunning find in a remote cave that could rewrite the history of human settlement in the region In a historic find set to transform our knowledge of the past, archaeologists in Thailand have dug up the oldest human skeleton ever discovered in the country, pushing back the timeline for human habitation in the area by thousands of years. The remains of a young child, endearingly dubbed "Pangpond" after a popular Thai cartoon character, were found in an isolated cave within the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. ‌ The Fine Arts Department (FAD) has made the remarkable announcement that the juvenile's interment, located in Din Cave – already renowned for its ancient rock paintings – dates back over 29,000 years. This revelation upends prior conceptions of Thailand's human history, providing an extraordinary window into the existence of prehistoric populations during the late Pleistocene epoch. ‌ "The careful burial and the associated artifacts provide invaluable insights into the rituals and daily lives of these ancient inhabitants.", reports the Daily Star. ‌ "The body was carefully placed and surrounded by stones, indicating a level of respect and care in the burial process," explained a FAD archaeologist. "The positioning of the limbs, with the toes touching, suggests the body may have been wrapped or tied before burial." The youngster's remains were discovered laid out flat on their back, with the head pointing southwest, indicating a purposeful and ceremonial interment. ‌ Initial examination suggests the child was aged between 6 and 8 when they died. By studying soil samples and fossils from the upper strata, researchers reckon the skeleton dates back more than 29,000 years, firmly positioning it in the late Pleistocene era. This find's importance reaches far beyond Thailand's frontiers. ‌ Din Cave, perched 125 metres above sea level, has captivated archaeologists since prehistoric cave art was uncovered there in 1996. "The Din Cave site offers a unique window into the past, documenting the evolution of human societies over thousands of years," said a spokesperson from the FAD. "Further research and analysis will undoubtedly shed more light on the lives of these ancient people and their contributions to the region's rich history."
