British rock sensation Yungblud is taking Bludfest global. The Billboard U.K. cover star announced on Tuesday (Feb. 24) that Bludfest 2026 will take place on June 27 at Park 360 in Hradec Králové, Czechia, marking the first international edition of the festival.
This year’s lineup is led by Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro and Primal Scream. They’ll be joined by a bevy of alternative acts, including Palaye Royale, Destroy Lonely, Leap, Pale Waves, Jesse Jo Stark, Bambie Thug, Nieve Ella and Czech singer Pam Rabbit.
Bludfest first launched two years ago in Milton Keynes, south east England, with a mission to deliver a major festival experience at an accessible price point. Previous iterations of the one-day event have featured performances from Lola Young, Denzel Curry, Lil Yachty, The Damned and more.
Fully curated by Yungblud (born Dominic Harrison), Bludfest has evolved into a fan-forward extension of his brand, with immersive on-site experiences such as crafting and a “Make A Friend” tent that focuses on inclusivity.
Speaking about the decision to expand into Czechia, Yungblud pointed to the overwhelming reception from fans during a previous performance there. “The reaction we got from a potential announcement when I said it on stage over there was so big and so electrifying, it kind of cemented that it would be the first international Bludfest. It’s going to be an incredible show,” he said.
He continued: “It feels so crazy to have planted a seed two years ago in Milton Keynes that has now grown roots and expanded all the way to Czechia. It cemented the idea that anything is possible when you never take no for an answer and you have a community that will follow you anywhere. I’m really lucky.”
For the first time, Bludfest will introduce on-site camping, offering fans the option to stay both the night before and the night of the event, with a range of packages available. Further ticketing information can be found at the official Bludfest website.
Last week (Feb. 20), Yungblud released Idols II, an extended version of his 2025 U.K. chart-topping LP with fresh batch of seven tracks, including a new version of “Zombie” featuring The Smashing Pumpkins. Idols was nominated for best rock album at the 2026 Grammys. He scooped his first Grammy this year, winning the best rock performance prize for his version of “Changes” performed at the July 2025 farewell show for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England.
