Yungblud spoke to NME about his big plans for BludFest when the festival was announced back in March.
When asked what it meant to be following in the footsteps of David Bowie, Queen, Green Day and Linkin Park in headlining Milton Keynes Bowl, he told NME: “Wow! What the fuck? That’s the fucking mad, isn’t it?
“BludFest is happening! I’m launching my own festival. I had the idea to do it last November. I just had fucking insomnia one night and thought, ‘What’s the next thing we can do that is really a staple and just pushes the boundaries?’”
Harrison continued: “This whole thing has been about fucking with people. When press don’t write about us, when labels don’t want us, when festivals don’t take us seriously, when people don’t take my generation seriously, let’s just poke the bear every time and piss everyone off to see if we can get away with it.
“We’re a community, we’re getting bigger, we’re gonna do it anyway!”
Yungblud also talked about his “positive”, Britpop-inspired upcoming album – which he compared to material by the likes of Oasis, The Verve, Primal Scream, My Chemical Romance, David Bowie and Madonna.

Since announcing BludFest, Yungblud has defended the event from critics who have questioned the intent behind it as well as its “overall authenticity”. “Music belongs to the people,” he said. “That’s the way it should be.”
