As promised last week, YUNGBLUD has just made an absolutely
whopping announcement: his very own festival at Milton Keynes Bowl!
The alt. star will be launching the inaugural BLUDFEST on August
11 with a genre-spanning line-up featuring everyone from Lil Yachty to The Damned
to Jazmin Bean – and, he promises, it’s only the beginning.
“Five years ago we imagined a world of our own,” he says. “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. 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.”
On top of all the music, BLUDFEST will also host a ‘Make A Friend’
tent, photobooths, a YUNGBLUD museum and much more.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 22 at 10am. Check out the full line-up below:
