YUNGBLUD and Tickets for Good Unite to Give NHS Staff Access to BludFest 2025

Internationally acclaimed musician and performer Yungblud has donated a large allocation of tickets to NHS workers for his bespoke festival, BludFest. Born in Doncaster and now one of the UK’s most recognisable alternative artists, Yungblud has built a global following by breaking down barriers in music, identity, and access.

The offer is live now and available exclusively through Sheffield-based social enterprise Tickets for Good until midnight on Thursday, 5 June. NHS staff can sign up at ticketsforgood.org/member-signup to claim their free ticket and join the crowds at Milton Keynes National Bowl on Saturday 5 July.

Yungblud’s latest single Zombie, released just days ago, is already being called one of the most moving songs of his career. Backed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and starring Florence Pugh as the lead in its music video, the track captures the exhaustion, love and unseen labour carried by those who work in care. Described by Yungblud as a “love letter to nurses,” the video shows Pugh’s character navigating the daily intensity of NHS life from small moments of quiet resilience to emotional collapse in the face of unrelenting pressure.

In his own words:

"We wanted to spotlight true heroes that we take for granted. Genuinely, thank you for all that you do. You see us at our worst, you get us to our best. You help us say goodbye, you help us say hello. You help us to fight, you help us to make the decision that it's time to stop fighting. All of this you do without awards, rewards, or praise, so we wanted to highlight you, you superheroes and say thank you."

Returning for the second year, Bludfest 2025 features a heavy-hitting and diverse line-up including BLACKBEAR, Denzel Curry, Chase Atlantic, Rachel Chinouriri, JXDN, Peach PRC, LUVCAT, Master Peace and Cliffords, with more still to come. This partnership marks the second time Yungblud has worked with Sheffield-based Tickets for Good, whose mission is to ensure all events are available to everyone. The platform provides free and low-cost tickets to NHS workers, Charity workers, teachers, volunteers and people facing financial barriers to event access. Tickets for Good has partnered with hundreds of live events and artists across the UK and is backed by Robbie Williams who recently donated tickets for every date on his European tour through Tickets for Good, showing how powerful this approach to access can be at scale.

This offer must be redeemed before midnight on Thursday 5 June. Sign-up is free and simple via ticketsforgood.org/member-signup.

The company’s mission is “to ensure all events are available to everyone,” with a vision of creating “a world where access to culture and entertainment is a right, not a privilege.” Tickets for Good offers a diverse range of experiences, from arena concerts and grassroots gigs to theatre, comedy, sports, and immersive attractions. It proudly partners with major festivals and live music events, including British Summer Time, Tramlines, Bludfest, Shambala, Camp Bestival, We Out Here, and The Cambridge Club Festival.

In 2023, Tickets for Good extended its offerings to charity staff and people receiving Cost of Living support, continuing its commitment to inclusivity and universal access. In 2024, it launched Tickets for Teachers, a new initiative providing access to events for members of the NASUWT teaching union, further supporting essential community professionals.

Building on its success in the UK, Tickets for Good launched in the U.S. with the support of NBCUniversal, bringing its mission of accessible entertainment to a new market.

The platform’s partnerships span both sports and entertainment, with notable collaborations such as its initiative with the London Lions basketball team, which has welcomed over 800 NHS staff to their games, and with Chelsea F.C. Women, supporting the growth of a new fanbase for the high-flying women’s team. Tickets for Good also frequently hosts comedy shows, including NHS-exclusive events at venues like 21Soho, and features an expanding lineup of attractions such as Phantom Peak, an immersive, open-world mystery experience in London.

Tickets for Good actively collaborates with NHS Trusts, charity leaders, and local and national government agencies to ensure that the right individuals and organisations are informed about available tickets. This targeted outreach helps amplify the platform’s impact, connecting communities and professionals in need with meaningful cultural and social experiences.

The organisation’s core values are rooted in building community, creating measurable impact, and fostering inclusivity, all while maximising access to otherwise unused event tickets for social good. As a mission-driven platform, Tickets for Good advocates for equitable access to culture and entertainment, with a vision of a more connected, inclusive world.
