FOLLOWING the success of Yungblud’s first-ever festival last summer, the punk rocker is doing it all over again. And it’s not just a second Bludfest his fans have got to look forward to. Yungblud, real name Dominic Harrison, told me he’s just finished his fourth album – the follow-up to his last No1 record in 2022.

“It’s a f***ing rock opera,” Dom explains in an exclusive chat. “It’s just been mixed. And what is so amazing is that Bludfest inspired so much of this album. “I think looking out on 30,000 people last year, it really made me ready for another adventure.

“The crowd really gave me so much inspiration to finish this project that I’ve been making for four years, and really go for it more than I’ve ever done before.”. Last year’s festival gave a platform to up-and-coming stars including Lola Young, who is making waves off the back of her performance.

Tickets for next year’s event at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on June 21 go on sale today. This time, Dom tells me it will be even bigger, with Blackbear, Chase Atlantic and Rachel Chinouriri all booked to play. He added: “We’re trying to lock in our icon slot, it’s a massive name.

“I think Roger Daltrey will come out and do Baba O’Riley with me.”. Talking of Roger, I told Dom that a mutual friend recently revealed The Who singer struck up a close friendship with Dom and the pair had bonded over a love of fishing. Dom broke into a smile and told me: “My phone kept ringing and it was a weird number so I ignored it.
