Yungblud headlined the second annual BludFest on June 21, 2025, at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes, where he surprised fans by bringing out rock legend Billy Idol to perform 'White Wedding.'

The festival showcased a diverse lineup, including Chase Atlantic, blackbear, Denzel Curry, and Rachel Chinouriri, enhancing its reputation as a premier music event.

Yungblud's energetic performance featured hits like 'Hello, Heaven Hello,' 'Lovesick Lullaby,' and 'Fleabag,' with glitter cannons and a runway walk that engaged the audience.

During his set, Yungblud reflected on his new album 'Idols,' which took four years to create, expressing both nervousness and gratitude for the support from fans.

He made an impassioned appeal for donations to the charity Warchild, emphasizing the importance of supporting the future amid global turmoil.

Following the festival, Yungblud is set to embark on a UK and Ireland arena tour in 2026, continuing his momentum after a series of intimate gigs planned for later in 2025.

Yungblud criticized the rising ticket prices in the festival market, advocating for affordability to ensure real fans can attend.

In an effort to combat these rising costs, BludFest offered 30,000 tickets at a price of £50 each, making it accessible for more fans.

Billy Idol's surprise appearance was a significant highlight, as he took center stage during the performance, creating a memorable moment for attendees.

Idol is currently in the spotlight due to a new documentary revealing he has a long-lost son, which adds an intriguing layer to his legacy.

Yungblud's vision for BludFest aims to create a genre-defying festival experience that breaks traditional music boundaries, showcasing a variety of acts.

The setlist included live debuts of tracks from 'Idols,' as well as popular songs like 'Parents' and 'Zombie,' highlighting Yungblud's dynamic range as an artist.
