Yungblud: “I don’t play where the ticket costs 800 pounds”

In an interview with the BBC Yungblud He criticized the price of the festival tickets hard, claiming to be “100%” in agreement with those who claim that ticket prices have “escaped hands”. The British musician is committed to trying to maintain the cost of the ticket for concerts accessible to fans who will participate in the second edition of his Bludfest which will be held in Milton Keynes, in Great Britain, on June 21st.

Particularly indignant by what happens in many events the 27 year old Yungblud He said: “He is simply stupid. Absolutely stupid. It doesn’t represent real people. I can’t play at a festival where the ticket costs 800 pounds (about 950 euros, editor’s note). How can you be on stage, okay?”.

He explained that one of the reasons why he created the Bludfest It was precisely to offer a change. “We wanted to go back to playing 20 bands for 65 pounds (about 80 euros, editor’s note), because this is how it should be. In this world, there is nothing that cannot be achieved if you do it sincerely and for the right reason. I was tired of how the festival market was. I was tired that many promoters of festivals did not take me seriously. So I said to myself: I will make one of mine. Because not?”.

When he launched him last year, speaking with the British magazine NME, expenses of words completely similar. “We are not even gaining money, we only do it for the fucking music. I am excited. It is just about saying ‘Thanks for this moment’. I really had many discussions for the prices, but that’s all”.

In response to those who criticized him on the authenticity of his festival, he explained: “At the beginning people said ‘cabbage, what?’ It should be accessible to everyone.
