Yungblud plans to make Bludfest a two-day event and take it around the world

Yungblud wants to take Bludfest around the world as a "two-day event".

The 27-year-old rocker - whose inaugural one-day festival took over the Milton Keynes Bowl in August - has high hopes for the future, with acts like The Cure and Bring Me The Horizon at the top of his wish list.

He told Kerrang!: “My plan is to take it to Paris and Prague and Australia. I’d love for it to be a two-day event.

"I’d love to have Bring Me The Horizon and The Cure. I’d love to see incredible young artists like Lola Young rise up the ranks and headline it.”

The 'Obey' hitmaker - whose real name is Dom Harrison - wanted to run the event the right way, which meant keep ticket prices at a low £49.50, and making sure artists were paid fairly.

He explained: "When you just turn up and play a gig, you don’t realise what money goes where. If I own my own thing, I can see things literally spread out.

"I’ll make money in other places, but it was a very big point for me to only break-even on the music and pay the artists what they should be paid.

“I don’t want to ask someone, ‘This is a good cause, will you come and do it for a little bit less?’ I was like, ‘What’s your fee?’

"I wanted to show it can be done this way. I really don’t mind putting my head above the trench and getting shot at first.”
