Yungblud is officially taking Bludfest global.
The British rocker, born Dominic Harrison, announced that Bludfest 2026 will take place June 27 at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, marking the first international edition of the one-day festival. The event previously launched in Milton Keynes, England, in 2024 and returned there in 2025.
According to reporting from Billboard and ABC Audio, this year’s lineup will feature Biffy Clyro, Primal Scream, Palaye Royale, Destroy Lonely, Pale Waves, Jesse Jo Stark, Bambie Thug, Nieve Ella, and Czech artist Pam Rabbit. Yungblud will headline the festival as he has in previous years.

Bludfest was created as a fan-forward alternative festival centered around inclusivity, accessibility, and community. In public statements surrounding the expansion, Yungblud emphasized the overwhelming reception from Czech fans during a previous performance there, calling the reaction “electrifying” and saying it cemented the decision to expand internationally.
The 2026 edition will also introduce on-site camping for the first time, allowing fans to stay the night before and after the event.
The festival announcement follows a busy stretch for Yungblud. On February 20, he released Idols II, an extended edition of his 2025 U.K. chart-topping album Idols, adding seven new tracks including a version of “Zombie” featuring The Smashing Pumpkins. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2026 Grammy Awards, and he won Best Rock Performance for his rendition of “Changes,” originally by Black Sabbath, performed at Ozzy Osbourne’s 2025 farewell show in Birmingham.
Long before Bludfest crossed borders, Yungblud had already built a strong relationship with alternative radio and mix culture, including Skratch N Sniff.
In 2023, he teamed up with SNS for a full Halloween takeover mix titled It’s A Bloody Halloween Mix, blending hard rock, punk, alt-pop, and chaotic energy in a way that mirrored both his live show and festival ethos.

The collaboration fit naturally. Yungblud has long positioned himself at the intersection of punk theatrics, modern alternative rock, and youth culture, the same collision space SNS has occupied for decades. His willingness to experiment within mix formats rather than just deliver singles reflects the same DIY-meets-global mentality that defines Bludfest.
As Bludfest expands into continental Europe, it feels less like a branding exercise and more like an extension of a community Yungblud has been building for years across touring circuits, festival stages, and alternative radio.
From Milton Keynes to Czechia, from underground club chaos to curated festival infrastructure, the arc is consistent.
