Yungblud has teased bringing his own festival, Bludfest, to Australia next year.
The English rockstar is in the midst of his highly anticipated Australian tour, which took him to Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Tuesday night (January 13th).
Towards the end of the set, as the below TikTok shows, Yungblud had a major announcement for his Aussie fans:
“I love you all, we will bring Bludfest to Australia, 2027,” he told the packed crowd to rapturous cheers.

In an interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ earlier this year, Yungblud had said that not only does he have “massive plans” for his Australian tour, but he also wants to bring Bludfest our way. Read the full chat here.
Yungblud is touring Down Under in support of his 2025 album, Idols, which hit No. 1 in the UK and No. 4 in Australia.
The tour kicked off in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday (January 10th), and we gave the show a glowing 4/5 review.
“[…] the night unfolded as a lesson in audience stewardship. Yungblud moved fluidly between scale and closeness, repeatedly entering the crowd, locking eyes and urging fans to take care of one another (not to mention letting one Wollongong fan play guitar left-handed on stage!).
“His affection for Australia was expressed not through generic tour platitudes, but through oddly specific touchstones: making references to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, schooners, a professed devotion to Vegemite (“I had it on my fucking toast this morning!”), all memories that suggested familiarity rather than performance. Clearly a fan of local customs, Yungblud took part in the ultimate Aussie on-stage antic of a shoey, gulping down his drink from a Converse high top,” we wrote.
