Yungblud wants Bludfest to travel the world as 'two day event'

Yungblud wants to take Bludfest around the world as a "two-day event". The 27-year-old rocker - whose inaugural one-day festival took over the Milton Keynes Bowl in August - has high hopes for the future, with acts like The Cure and Bring Me The Horizon at the top of his wish list.

I’d love for it to be a two-day event. "I’d love to have Bring Me The Horizon and The Cure. I’d love to see incredible young artists like Lola Young rise up the ranks and headline it.

” The 'Obey' hitmaker - whose real name is Dom Harrison - wanted to run the event the right way, which meant keep ticket prices at a low £49.50, and making sure artists were paid fairly. He explained: "When you just turn up and play a gig, you don’t realise what money goes where.

If I own my own thing, I can see things literally spread out. "I’ll make money in other places, but it was a very big point for me to only break-even on the music and pay the artists what they should be paid. “I don’t want to ask someone, ‘This is a good cause, will you come and do it for a little bit less?’ I was like, ‘What’s your fee?’ "I wanted to show it can be done this way.

I really don’t mind putting my head above the trench and getting shot at first.” He felt like the first ever Bludfest was a triumph, and stayed true to the way he wants his artistry to help "a culture coming together". He added: “I’ve always seen YUNGBLUD .
