Yungblud Announces 'Bludfest' 2026 Lineup, Expands Festival to Czechia for First Time

Yungblud is turning up the volume on 2026 with the biggest announcement yet for his fan-fueled festival, 'Bludfest.' The British rock star has announced that 'Bludfest' Year 3 will not only return with a powerful lineup but also expand outside of the UK for the first time, producing enormous buzz through chart-topping releases and thrilling live performances. The event, which is scheduled to take place in Park 360 in Hradec Kělové, Czechia, promises an amazing day of music, community, and high-energy acts, all motivated by Yungblud's goal to keep live music accessible and inclusive.

Yungblud's Rising Buzz and Bludfest Origins

Yungblud, a British rock pioneer who was born Dominic Harrison, has become one of the most talked-about performers in contemporary alternative music, fusing punk energy with unabashedly human storytelling. Hits like 'Zombie' and his chart-topping Idols project have helped him become more well-known in recent years. His influence on the genre was further cemented in 2026 when he won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance. Beyond his music, Yungblud has built a devoted global fanbase by championing inclusivity and community, values he's poured into every corner of his creative world.

This philosophy serves as the foundation for Bludfest, the event he has established to provide a completely distinct live music experience by emphasizing accessibility, genuineness, and community over commercial spectacle. What started as a one-day event in Milton Keynes, England has now grown into a cultural movement that resonates with fans everywhere, thanks to its diverse lineup and fan-centric approach.

'Bludfest' 2026 Lineup and New Location Reveal

Yungblud made the exciting revelation that 'Bludfest' Year 3 would travel abroad for the first time in 2026. It will take place on 27th June, at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, a charming location in Central Europe that broadens the festival's appeal outside the UK. With indie icons Primal Scream and Scottish rock giants Biffy Clyro at the top of the bill, with Yungblud himself leading a vibrant group of artists, this year's lineup is sure to please every musical taste.

Fans will also see energetic sets from Palaye Royale, indie pop favourites Pale Waves, genre-blending rapper Destroy Lonely, rising talents like Bambie Thug, Leap, Nieve Ella and local favourite Pam Rabbit. Additionally, Jesse Jo Stark–both an artist and Yungblud's partner–will bring her own flair to the bill. Fans are invited to experience rock, pop, rap, and more under one roof as Bludfest's unique mix transforms the one-day event into a celebration of musical diversity.

In order to give eager visitors a chance to reserve spaces for what is quickly becoming a must-see festival moment, tickets will be offered with a special presale starting on 26th February, and regular sales on 27th February.

Beyond Music: What Makes 'Bludfest' Special?

Bludfest's unique fan experience and friendly approach are its main draws, even though the musicians themselves garner media attention. Yungblud fought against the notion that live music should be unaffordable by designing the event to be accessible from the start, both in terms of cost and ambience. Interactive areas like craft stalls and the "Make A Friend" tent, which promotes community involvement and connections among festival attendees, were a staple of past festivals.

For the first time, Bludfest is offering glamping and camping on-site for the Czechia edition, allowing guests to experience the festival atmosphere both before and after shows. The event is set to offer both ordinary and premium ticket choices, including comfortable upgrades and VIP-style benefits, to appeal to both seasoned fans and novice travellers.

With this year's international expansion, Bludfest proves that Yungblud's vision still has plenty of opportunity to expand. What began as a daring idea has developed into a celebration of music, inclusivity, and youthful energy. 'Bludfest' 2026 is looking to be a festival experience that fans won't soon forget, whether they are there for the thrilling acts or the sense of community that comes with it.
