blackbear, Denzel Curry and Chase Atlantic will take to the helm in Milton Keynes for round two.

Topping off 2024 with a successful first Bludfest, including sets from the likes of Lil Yachty, Soft Play (fka Slaves), Nessa Barrett, Lola Young and The Damned, and ending it with an after-party at Milton Keynes’ very best Craufurd Arms (who later went on to add a stained glass window artwork of the Doncaster rockstar in their venue), it’s only natural that Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — would come back with an announcement for 2025.

Seemingly finding a permanent home in Milton Keynes’s wildly underused outdoor venue The Bowl, which, once upon a time, played host to Foo Fighters, Tame Impala, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Oasis, Green Day, Eminem, Queen and more, it seems Yungblud has found the perfect way to bring culture and community to somewhere outside of London. And rightfully so — Milton Keynes is only a 30-minute train journey from London and 1 hour 40 minutes from Manchester, making it a clever and easily commutable choice.

Next year, as well as performing himself, Yungblud will be joined by blackbear, Chase Atlantic, Denzel Curry, Rachel Chinouriri, jxdn, Peach PRC, Luvcat, Master Peace and Cliffords, with numerous acts yet to be announced. With a whole host of genres on display, there’s sure to be something to keep everyone happy, whether you’re a hip-hop fan or into a heavier sound.

It remains to be seen whether Nando’s will be providing food again or if there’ll still be a ‘make a friend’ tent, but we can only imagine these will continue as traditions.

Keeping this year’s ticket price at the affordable cap of £50, it’ll be interesting to see if that stays the same for next year. Tickets go on sale on December 18th at 10am GMT and can be purchased here.
