Yungblud Reveals He ‘Accidentally’ Exposed Himself in Infamous 2019 Coachella Photo with Billie Eilish

In a candid revelation on Lottie Moss’ Dream On podcast on May 27, 2025, British musician Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison) opened up about a wardrobe mishap that sparked viral attention years ago. The incident occurred during the 2019 Coachella Music Festival, when a photo taken at a record label party captured an unintended moment of exposure while Yungblud posed with pop star Billie Eilish.

The Incident

At just 19 years old, Yungblud was performing during Kayzo’s set at Coachella, sharing the festival spotlight with Eilish, then 17. Known for his edgy style—including leather pants worn without underwear—Yungblud had changed into shorts that day due to the scorching heat but stayed underwear-free. As he bent down to pose with Eilish, a wardrobe malfunction occurred: his penis was accidentally exposed in the photo, a detail he was completely unaware of at the time.

Discovery and Reaction

Yungblud only realized the exposure after spotting the photo published in a magazine months later. Expressing surprise, he wondered aloud why no one had noticed or alerted him during the event. The infamous image initially circulated on Reddit’s r/Coachella community in 2019 and later resurfaced, gaining renewed attention following his disclosure.

He also mentioned the photo was taken at Benny Blanco’s house, adding a layer of intrigue to the story.

Public and Social Media Response

The story quickly made waves on social media. On X, E! News highlighted the revelation with the caption: “Yungblud revealed how his habit of not wearing underwear came back to bite him when he posed for a photo with Billie Eilish in 2019, not realizing that he had accidentally exposed himself.”

Despite the viral nature of the photo, Yungblud emphasized that the exposure was accidental, framing it as a wardrobe malfunction rather than a deliberate act.

Connection with Billie Eilish

While the two artists have not officially collaborated musically, Yungblud appeared in Eilish’s 2022 documentary Overheated, indicating a professional acquaintance. This likely facilitated their shared moment at Coachella.

Looking Ahead

Yungblud’s upcoming album Idols, set for release on June 20, 2025, includes singles such as “Hello Heaven, Hello” and “Lovesick Lullaby.” Though unrelated to the photo incident, the album marks a new chapter for the artist, who continues to garner attention both for his music and candid personality.

Yungblud’s humorous and honest recounting of the Coachella mishap adds a humanizing and relatable touch to the often high-glamour world of music festivals—reminding fans that even stars have their awkward moments.
