British rock sensation Yungblud has announced the international expansion of his popular Bludfest festival, with its first global edition set to take place on June 27, 2026, at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia. This marks a significant milestone for the festival, which originated two years prior in Milton Keynes, south east England. Bludfest was founded with a core mission to provide a major festival experience at an accessible price point for fans.

Fully curated by Yungblud, whose birth name is Dominic Harrison, Bludfest has cultivated a unique fan-forward brand identity. It offers immersive on-site experiences such as crafting stations and a “Make A Friend” tent, emphasizing inclusivity and community building. The decision to expand into Czechia was directly influenced by the overwhelming and electrifying reception Yungblud received from fans during a previous performance in the country. He expressed his excitement, noting that the strong reaction cemented Czechia as the ideal location for the festival's international debut, highlighting the power and loyalty of his community.

The highly anticipated 2026 lineup for Bludfest Czechia features a diverse array of alternative acts. Headlining the event are acclaimed Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro and Primal Scream. They will be joined by Palaye Royale, Destroy Lonely, Leap, Pale Waves, Jesse Jo Stark, Bambie Thug, Nieve Ella, and local Czech artist Pam Rabbit, promising a dynamic and engaging musical experience for attendees.

Adding to the festival experience, Bludfest 2026 will introduce on-site camping for the first time. This new offering provides fans with the convenience of staying both the night before and the night of the event, with various packages available to suit different needs. Further details on ticketing and camping options are available on the official Bludfest website.

In addition to his festival endeavors, Yungblud has recently been active on the music front. On February 20, he released "Idols II," an extended version of his 2025 U.K. chart-topping LP, "Idols." This expanded edition features a fresh batch of seven new tracks, including a collaborative version of “Zombie” with The Smashing Pumpkins. "Idols" itself garnered critical acclaim, earning a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2026 Grammys. Yungblud also celebrated a significant personal achievement this year, scooping his first Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance. This accolade was for his rendition of “Changes,” performed at the July 2025 farewell show for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England, further solidifying his standing as a prominent figure in the rock music scene.
