Yungblud has revealed his plans to open his own venue at a historic cultural hotspot in Soho, South London.
In a new interview with the Daily Star, it has been revealed that the musician intends to open the establishment at 20 Denmark Street – a road known as “Tin Pan Alley” due to its long association with the music industry.
The Doncaster-born singer told the newspaper: “It’s opening this year. I want people to hang out, meet and have a physical space to make real connections in this virtual world. There will be a leopard pool table downstairs.
“My dream is to have clubs all over the world where my fanbase can hang out, seven days a week, open all day and at night… London is hopefully just the first one.”
Yungblud has been vocal about his support for the live music industry, whilst also expressing his concerns about the pricing of festivals and gigs, saying he “100% agrees that it has got out of hand.”
He spoke to the BBC in May about the current ticket prices for festivals, saying: “This is just dumb. Just stupid. It does not represent real people. I cannot play a festival where it’s like £800 a ticket. How can you stand on stage, and that’s okay?”
This comes after he launched his own “community-focused” festival, BludFest, last summer at the Milton Keynes Bowl. The first edition of the festival saw sets from Lil Yachty, Soft Play, Lola Young and Yungblud himself.
The second edition of BludFest took place last month with Denzel Curry and Chase Athletic joining Yungblud as headliners, where the Doncaster singer bringing out Billy Idol during his set.
He spoke to NME about the launch of the festival last year, where he explained the decision behind launching his own event: “We’re not even making money – we’re just doing it for the fucking tunes. I’m excited. It’s all about saying ‘thanks for this moment’. I’ve had so many arguments about the price-point but that’s it.”
More recently, the ‘Hello, Heaven Hello’ singer told BBC about the importance of the pricing of the festival, saying: “We wanted to come back and do 20 bands for £65, because that’s the way it should be. In this world, there is nothing you can’t achieve if you are doing it from a place of truth, and for the right reason.”
In other news relating the Yungblud, he showed up at the final Black Sabbath gig last weekend as he performed a cover of ‘Changes’ at the ‘Back To The Beginning’ show at Villa Park, Birmingham.
