If you’ve been missing the days of Warped Tour, of course, there’s been chances to see major alternative bands on stages such as When We Were Young, Sad Summer Fest, Sonic Temple Festival, and the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise. Now, YUNGBLUD is getting into the alt festival circuit with his very own BludFest.
Announced on Monday, March 18, the debut BludFest is set to take place on August 11. The venue is the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. Acts include headliner YUNGBLUD, Lil Yachty, Soft Play, Nessa Barrett, The Damned in the icon slot, Lola Young, and Jazmin Bean. According to the original poster admat, they will soon add more artists to the lineup.
In an Instagram caption, YUNGBLUD shared how the festival came together. “5 years ago we imagined a world of our own. In BLUDFEST we are physically going to build one.,” he says.
He continued, “This will be 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.”

He adds, “I wanted to build an experience where anyone can be completely themselves, with their friends, their family or completely on their own. I want to create an experience that blurs the lines of genre, destroys the limitation of imagination, cuts the corporate bullshit and is all about people coming together.”
