YUNGBLUD hopes his new festival can “challenge” the way gigs are priced.
The 26-year-old singer is set to perform Bloodfest at Milton Keynes Bowl on August 11, where he will also be joined by Lil Yachty, The Damned, Soft Play and Nessa Barrett. However, we have decided to sell tickets. During the planning he made the price of £49.50 non-negotiable because he believes that the high price is very unfair to the fans.
“We wanted to do something that challenged traditional ways of doing things, like challenging ticket pricing.
“When you go to a festival, you have to buy gas. It's train tickets, food, it's everything.
“People end up spending £400 on a festival, but it’s just a mental thing.”
Mr Youngblood is an outspoken critic of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and encouraged him and other Conservative MPs to attend the festival to learn what appeals to young people.
he said: “I think they should come and learn.
“Obviously, I can sit here and say, 'I think they're all full of shit,' but what I'd love to accomplish is I want them to come and listen. ”
The “11 Minutes'' singer said that early in his career, he was advised by his record company boss not to “talk politics'' in his songs, but he's glad he didn't listen. There is.
he said: “Music can really change the world.
“This allows the message to reach the gut rather than the brain.
“I think when you feel that, you're more inclined to act.”
