Yungblud 'so excited' to bring Bludfest back to Milton Keynes
A rockstar said he was "so excited" to be bringing his "accessible and affordable" music and arts festival back to a county this a festival founded by singer-songwriter Yungblud in 2024, will take place at the National Bowl, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, on 21 27-year-old said he created the event in response to the rising cost of festival and gig tickets, with 30,000 people attending last year for £50 year tickets range from £65-125, but the Lovesick Lullaby singer told the BBC the event "was a lot bigger". "We have a bigger second stage, a lot more rides, and we've just made things from last year twice as big," he said."It is really good to be coming back for a second year and I feel so lucky – I am so excited." During last year's event some fans reported fainting while waiting for hours in slow-moving queues to get into the Presents, the festival's promoter, apologised to fans who experienced delays and said the wait was down to "heightened security measures"."It was a bit of a nightmare but we got through it, but we needed more gates open and the security got overwhelmed," said Yungblud."This year things are a lot more within my control and there will be a lot more gates open and it is really important for me to take security seriously."It's my festival, it's my name on it, and I really want to be in charge of it." Yungblud said he wanted to create his own festival that was affordable and "would be really representative" of his fan base."It was everything I kind of expected and wanted really, it was so beautiful how much love was in the air and how much people were connecting," he told the BBC."I think people are afraid to go to gigs on their own, but the biggest thing I am proud of is that people form relationships and go adventures together at YungBlud gigs."In the midst of rising concert tickets, the artist wanted to offer a more affordable way to enjoy live year 51% of people in the UK said high prices had stopped them from going to gigs at least once in the last five 16 to 34-year-olds, two-thirds of concert-goers said they had reduced the number of shows they attended. "A lot of artists are not in control of how much people are paying to go to their gigs and I wanted to encourage them to stand up for their fanbase," Yungblud said."I don't mind putting my head above the trench and getting shot at first."It is really liberating and cool to do something that you dream about and we are doing it for the right reasons."

London's newest tourist town in ‘forgotten' district is £1.3bn attraction with hotels, theatre and rooftop bar
A MAJOR UK attraction has revealed plans to start reopening later this year after a £1.3billion upgrade. Olympia London has undergone the huge renovation to turn it into a new "cultural hub". 7 7 7 Known for being the home of global events including BBC Good Food Show and Comic Con as well as live music and fashion shows, the major upgrade started back in 2019. Spread across 14 acres it will be a new "arts, entertainment and exhibition district". Two new hotels will open on-site, including the 204-room Hyatt Regency and 146-room citizenM design hotel. A new Music Hall with a 4,000-capacity arena will be run by AEG Presents, the second biggest live music promoter in the world behind Live Nation. Olympia Theatre, run by Trafalgar Entertainment, is the biggest new purpose-built theatre in 50 years, with space for 1,575 people. Another 30 restaurants and bars will open including street halls and rooftop venues, alongside a boutique gym. And a new office space, performing arts school and pedestrianised streets are also part of the plans. The project is being backed by Deutsche Finance International and Yoo Capital, who are funding the full £1.3billion. The website states: "We're now looking forward to our next chapter, as we bring new life to one of the UK's most iconic heritage sites and become part of something much bigger." Yoo Capital added: "The £1.3 billion regeneration of Olympia will create London's newest creative district: a destination for culture, education, entertainment, exhibitions, incredible offices, eateries and over two acres of public realm." I tried the London tour that lets you make the viral TikTok doughnuts - and you can book for Easter 7 7 Parts of the renovation are opening this year, although others such as the new ICC conference space will open next year. Olympia London first opened in 1886, following the success of Crystal Palace 's Great Exhibition in 1851. Upcoming events include London Tech Week, London Film and Comic Con and Hyper Japan Festival. The venue also has its own train station with Kensington (Olympia) having both overground and underground services. 7 Already open is a huge new glass canopy which launched at the end of last year and was inspired by the original exhibition halls. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, founder Thomas Heatherwick, said: 'Olympia was once a people's palace – a place to come together and experience unusual things. "Having lost its way over the years, we're now working to bring back its original spirit and make Olympia open and available to everyone." In the mean time, a new "first of its kind" Titanic attraction is set to open in London. The UK's only Guinness attraction is opening in London later this year as well. And we've rounded up 15 attractions across the UK where you can find £1 entry tickets. 7
