Tonight, the long-awaited announcements of the second year of BLUDFEST, discovered by the industry disruptor, change maker YUNGBLUD, have been shared.
Returning on Saturday, 21st June 2025, BLUDFEST at The National Bowl, Milton Keynes will be bigger and better then ever! YUNGBLUD, months of the world’s biggest music festival being largely mute on social media, released an unseen trailer for the festival (watch here), reminiscing on the highs from the landmark first event earlier in the year.
A Look Back at BLUDFEST 2024
BLUDFEST was born in 2024; it’s inaugural year boasted a stellar line-up, featuring 11 acts including the likes of punk royalty The Damned alongside Soft Play and Lil Yachty. Against industry practice, with soaring event prices becoming the norm, the festival welcomed 30,000 fans for £50 a ticket.
The 2025 Lineup Unveiled Tonight
YUNGBLUD shared an incomplete roster for 2025 topped by Australian alternative R& B trio Chase Atlantic as main support. They are joined by the “idfc” singer blackbear and the rapper Denzel Curry. Headlining the second stage will be British indie-pop star Rachel Chinouriri, while Liverpool’s Luvcat and Ivor Novello Award-winner Masterpeace will also be strong draws. The streamer behind lots of hotly anticipated shows such as Euphoria and The Idol, YUNGBLUD himself will headline the festival once again.
YUNGBLUD on BLUDFEST’s Return
About the announcement YUNGBLUD remarked:
“What we built this year was impossible.” You have the seed of an idea in your brain, you think it will never come to fruition, but then it does—all because of the f**ing people and the underlying idea that we all just want to be with each other.” * “This wasn’t just, like, a show; we built a fing world. I genuinely want to appreciate everyone who attended this year. You make each other shine, just shining — such a light that I think is the answer to all of the bulls* going on in the world. *
“We did it, and we’re going to do it all over again. The time has come for BLUDFEST Year Two — slightly bigger, and slightly better… Get ready!
Additional Artists Added to the 2025 Lineup
The main support act, Chase Atlantic, will hit the stage fresh from the release of their sophomore album, Lost in Heaven, and a worldwide tour that brought them back after a 2022 intermission. Another standout is emerging pop sensation Peach PRC. The Australian singer-songwriter first drew eyes with her debut single “Blondes,” which went viral in 2019. She released her compilation album, Chapter 1: Singles Collection earlier this year.
A PASSPORT-FREE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE BLUDFEST is more than a music festival — it’s a groundbreaking music, arts and lifestyle experience. Its mission is to push the boundaries of what music is supposed — or not supposed — to be with a diverse and genre-spanning lineup. Welcoming these artists into his groundbreaking activations is just the beginning for YUNGBLUD—his vision revolves around collaboration and honors creativity cross-category, setting BLUDFEST apart among the festival circuit.
