Internationally acclaimed artist and musician YUNGBLUD has announced the inception of BLUDFEST.  A brand new and experiential music, arts and lifestyle festival that is founded and headlined by the musician - a natural progression for the artist who has solidified his place as one of the most powerful and influential voices of his generation. BLUDFEST will take place on 11th August 2024 at the iconic 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 grace the festival’s icon slot. American rising star Nessa Barrett is also set to performalongside powerhouse pop star Lola Young and future pop artist Jazmin Bean. 

 

The uniquely eclectic lineup of artists that join the BLUDFEST bill has been exceptionally 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, with a live setup that facilitates maximum crossover and collaboration, to forge an unforgettable celebration of music.

 

YUNGBLUD’s own manifesto as an artist encompasses three core values of community, authenticity and creating a place for self-expression, and these three values act as pillars for BLUDFEST. More than just a music festival, BLUDFEST gives fans a chance to step into the YUNGBLUD world.

​

Inheriting one of the UK’s most iconic outdoor venues, Milton Keynes Bowl has previously played host to artists including Queen, David Bowie, Eminem, Green Day, Linkin Park, Oasis, Foo Fighters and many more. 

 

Since the beginning of his phenomenal rise, YUNGBLUD has nurtured a vast collective of dedicated fans around the globe, forging a global community and a social following of over 14.5 million, cementing him firmly amongst the top alternative artists of his generation. With billions of streams and collaborations with an eclectic mix of artists, BLUDFEST is a natural fit building upon the YUNGBLUD community.
