Yungblud Unveils 2026 Bludfest Lineup and Expands to New Location

British rock dynamo Yungblud is taking his signature festival to the global stage. On Tuesday (Feb. 24), the musician announced that Bludfest 2026 will descend upon Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, on June 27, marking the event’s first-ever international expansion.

The 2026 roster is anchored by Scottish alternative heavyweights Biffy Clyro and Primal Scream. They lead an eclectic billing that includes Palaye Royale, Destroy Lonely, Leap, Pale Waves, Jesse Jo Stark, Bambie Thug, Nieve Ella, and Czech pop artist Pam Rabbit.

Originally launched two years ago in Milton Keynes, England, Bludfest was founded with a clear objective: to offer a premier festival experience at an accessible price point. In its short history, the one-day event has hosted a diverse array of talent, ranging from Lil Yachty and Denzel Curry to Lola Young and The Damned.

Hand-curated by Yungblud (Dominic Harrison), the festival serves as a physical extension of his inclusive brand. Beyond the music, attendees can explore immersive spaces like the “Make A Friend” tent, designed to foster community and safety among fans.

Reflecting on the move to Czechia, Yungblud noted that the “electrifying” energy from his local fanbase during a prior performance made the country the obvious choice for his first overseas venture. “It feels surreal to see a seed planted in Milton Keynes grow roots that stretch all the way to Czechia,” he remarked. “It proves that anything is possible when you have a community that supports you and you refuse to take no for an answer.”

For the first time in the festival’s history, on-site camping will be introduced, offering fans the opportunity to stay for the full duration of the event with various accommodation tiers. Comprehensive ticketing and travel details are available on the official Bludfest website.

The festival announcement follows a whirlwind year for the artist. Last week, he unveiled Idols II, a deluxe edition of his chart-topping 2025 album featuring seven new tracks, including a collaboration with The Smashing Pumpkins on “Zombie.” After receiving a nomination for Best Rock Album, Yungblud recently secured his first Grammy for his soul-stirring rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Changes,” performed during Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell celebration in Birmingham.
