Singer-songwriter Yungblud has announced the return of his event BludFest to the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.
Having held an inaugural BludFest event at the same venue in August, the Doncaster-born artist has announced it will return to the same venue on Saturday June 21st 2025.
The event will be on the same weekend as the previously announced Forever Now event, also taking place at the Milton Keynes Bowl. It also comes as part of a busy year of events at the venue, which will also host Pendulum and the Reggae Land Festival in August.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Wednesday December 18th, with pre-sales taking place to people on Yungblud’s mailing list at 10am on Monday (16/12) and via TikTok on Tuesday (17/12).
The event will see Yungblud close proceedings with a headline set, as he did at the 2024 event, while the announcement of BludFest’s return saw nine artists confirmed in the initial announcement.
Australian act R&B Chase Atlantic have been announced as the main support act, with American rap artist Denzel Curry on before Chase Atlantic as part of the bill.
British singer Rachel Chinouriri will be the headline performer on the second stage, while other names confirmed today were JXDN, Peach PRC, Luvcat, Master Peace and Cliffords. Further names will be confirmed in due course.
In a statement published by AEG, Yungblud said, “What we created this year was unimaginable. You start an idea inside your head and you never believe it will come true but then it does all because of the f***ing people and the fundamental idea that we all just wanna be together.
“This wasn’t just a show, we built a f***ing world. I truly want to thank all who came this year. You make each other shine, you emit such a light – a light that I believe is the answer to all the bull**** is going on in the world
“We did it and we’re gonna do it all over again. BLUDFEST year 2 is upon us, a little bit bigger and a little bit better … get ready!”
Yungblud, real name Dom Harrison, has released three studio albums, with both 2020’s Weird! and 2022’s self-titled albums reaching number one in the UK album charts. A new as-yet untitled album is expected at some point in 2025. He has also previously won a Best Live Act award from the Silver Clef Awards, as well as further recognition from the NME Awards, Attitude Awards and Los 40 Music Awards.
