YUNGBLUD announces new festival BLUDFEST at Milton Keynes Bowl

Joining YUNGBLUD on the lineup is Grammy-nominated Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty, following the pair’s collaboration on YUNGBLUD’s latest single, "When We Die (Can We Still Get High?)". Acclaimed British rock duo SOFT PLAY are also joining the bill, and renowned punk rockers The Damned will play the festival’s 'icon' slot. American rising star Nessa Barrett is also set to perform alongside Lola Young and Jazmin Bean.

The eclectic lineup of artists that join the BLUDFEST bill has been curated by YUNGBLUD himself to appeal to a new generation of gig-goers and a younger generation of music fans who don’t necessitate their taste with genre categorisation.

Talking about BLUDFEST, YUNGBLUD aka Dominic Harrison says: “Five years ago we imagined a world of our own. In BLUDFEST we have physically built one. It feels like the next logical step for me. I want to create a physical safe space where people can come and celebrate the ideologies of this community - where unity, individuality and love is the main focus and we bring the world of Yungblud to fucking life right before your eyes."

"I wanted to build an experience where anybody can be completely themselves, with their friends, their family or completely on their own," he continues. "BLUDFEST will blur the lines of genre and destroy the limitation of imagination. It will be a festival that cuts the corporate bo****ks and is all about the people. My plan is to take it worldwide but this summer is the first one and it’s gonna be something no one has ever seen before in the UK."
