Tired of inflated ticket prices, recording artist Yungblud is launching his own affordable music festival.

Bludfest takes place on Aug. 11 in the iconic Milton Keynes Bowl, which in the past has hosted the likes of David Bowie and Green Day in Buckinghamshire, England, northwest of London.

Yungblud, whose real name is Dom Harrison, thinks that currently festivals are “unrepresentative of people” — so he’s fixing the price point of Bludfest at 49.50 pounds (around $63).

And he hopes to expand it out of the U.K. if it goes according to plan, taking the concept to different regions across the globe.

    This is how it used to be and scalpers would line up as early as needed while the common person would be out of luck.

      You would at least have a chance and could line up as well rather than competing with bots that can purchase tickets faster than any human.

        I’d be fine with that but then I remember how people can be and I think this would lead to riots at the door.
