Yungblud Sets His Sights on a Worldwide Bludfest
Yungblud, never one for doing things by halves, has revealed bold plans: his brainchild Bludfest, launched just last year, won’t stay a small local affair for long. In his own words, Bludfest is a “movement,” a world crafted for fans to belong, celebrate, and cut loose. Now, he’s pushing that vision beyond UK borders, announcing plans to expand Bludfest into a two-day global event. He doesn’t just want a stage—he wants a phenomenon that welcomes anyone who’s ever felt on the fringes.
The 2024 Bludfest drew over 30,000 fans, setting the bar high. The energy was wild, crowdsurfing was a given, and if you checked your phone that day, chances are you saw someone you know posting from the festival grounds. This was no lucky shot—it was Yungblud’s vision coming to life.
Bludfest 2025: Bigger Venue, Even Bigger Statement
So what’s happening in 2025? For now, the festival keeps its roots in Milton Keynes, setting up shop at the National Bowl with space for an impressive 65,000 people. The upcoming edition, set for June 21, is still a one-day event, but the writing is on the wall: this thing is going to get a whole lot bigger.
You won’t just see Yungblud on stage. The lineup stacks pretty tall with Chase Atlantic, Blackbear, Denzel Curry, and Rachel Chinouriri all on the bill. The vibe here is variety—ranging from high-energy emo-rap to alt-pop and cutting-edge hip hop. Fans are already circling the date.
Ticket pricing stays central to Yungblud’s vision. Even though tickets have climbed to £65 from last year’s £49.50, the focus is on affordability. Teaming up with the powerhouse AEG Presents, he’s committed to keeping the festival financially accessible, no matter how international it gets.
Yungblud isn’t just looking at ticket sales or Instagram likes. He talks about Bludfest as a sort of family, a refuge for those who want to be themselves with 60,000 others doing the same. “A little bit bigger and a little bit better… get ready!” he teased, making it clear this isn’t just about music—it’s about transformation. The plan? Keep that inclusive feel even as crowds grow and borders disappear.
The future may hold new cities, extra days, and unexpected twists. But if the first years of Bludfest are anything to go by, Yungblud’s global ambitions aren’t pipe dreams—they’re a fair bet for anyone wanting a true music community on a much grander scale.
