Bludfest is heading to the Czech Republic. Grammy-winner Yungblud is taking his iconic festival global for the very first time, and its only international stop will be in Hradec Králové

The multi-genre, affordable and inclusive festival founded by Grammy-winning artist Yungblud will take place on June 27, 2026. The event will be held at the modern Park 360 venue in Hradec Králové, strategically located in the heart of Europe. "I think the Czech Republic is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and it has the craziest fans, so bringing the festival here this summer just felt right," says the founder of Bludfest. Headlining the event will be Yungblud himself, joined by Scottish rockers and Czech fan favorites Biffy Clyro, psychedelic legends Primal Scream, and many more across a diverse lineup.

Bludfest in the Czech Republic is organized by RFP Concerts in cooperation with D Smack U Promotion. Tickets will be available via www.bludfest.com, where fans can already register for the presale. The presale begins on Thursday, February 26 at 10:00 AM, with general ticket sales launching on Friday, February 27 at 11:00 AM.

This year's edition is set to be truly exceptional. For the first time ever, Bludfest is moving beyond the UK — and the Czech Republic will be its only international destination in 2026. "We fell in love with Yungblud and his energy at Rock for People 2024, where he delivered an incredible show. When the opportunity came up to exclusively host his festival at Park 360, we knew we had to make it happen," says Luděk Motyčka of RFP Concerts. "From the announcement of his show at Café V lese to sold-out arenas and now Bludfest taking the fan experience to the next level — we're proud that Dominic chose the Czech Republic for the third edition of his festival and that we've been part of this fairytale journey since the very first show," adds David Urban of D Smack U Promotion. Following his record-breaking triple Grammy nomination in the rock categories, a win for Best Rock Performance, and the release of the second part of his album Idols Pt. II, the singer confirmed that Hradec Králové will serve as the launchpad for the festival's global expansion. "It's crazy to think that two years ago we planted a seed in Milton Keynes, and now it's taken root and grown all the way to the Czech Republic. It proves that anything is possible when you never take no for an answer and you have a community that will follow you anywhere. I'm incredibly grateful and feel very lucky," the artist adds.

The announced lineup offers a vibrant mix of names across genres — exactly what Bludfest stands for. Fans can look forward to shimmering indie-pop from Pale Waves, the explosive art-rock show of Palaye Royale, and raw rap energy from Atlanta's Destroy Lonely. The program will also feature the "Ouija Pop" phenomenon Bambie Thug, indie newcomers LEAP, and, following a recent collaboration with Lil Yachty, alternative standout Jesse Jo Stark. Rising star Nieve Ella and Czech singer Pam Rabbit round out the lineup.

Bludfest is a multi-genre music and lifestyle festival initiated by Yungblud as an alternative to traditional large-scale events, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, community, and authenticity. It was created as a space to connect fans, cultivate a distinctive artistic atmosphere, and showcase a broad spectrum of genres at a reasonable ticket price — without the corporate approach and excessive price hikes the singer has often criticized. The organizers spotlight international names while delivering a festival experience tailored to young audiences and fans of alternative live music.

Bludfest 2026 in Hradec Králové will place strong emphasis on safety, diversity, and accessibility for all attendees. "It's a tremendous honor that Hradec will host the only international edition of Bludfest this year. What makes this festival so special is that it's not just about music — it's about creating a space where a vibrant young community can come together. And that's exactly what Hradec is: a city pulsing with creativity, open to the world," says Mayor Pavlína Springerová. "I can't wait to experience this unique festival atmosphere here at home," she adds. One of the event's core ambitions is to break down barriers between genres, scenes, and people. Yungblud has long championed collaboration, diversity, and openness, and through Bludfest he continues to create a space where music becomes a tool for connection. The result is an experience that refuses to fit into a single box — and that's precisely what makes it exceptional.
