00:00 Have you ever felt like you're just a little bit different?

00:03 Like you've never been anywhere you could truly call home.

00:06 Like you just don't quite fit in.

00:08 Oh, (beep) off Bernard.

00:12 Well, I'm creating a space where being different

00:15 is celebrated.

00:16 A music festival where we cut the bull (beep)

00:19 and it's all about the people.

00:22 It's called Bloodfest.

00:24 It's on the 11th of August and it's in Milton Keynes.

00:27 I just wanted to create a physical world

00:31 where me and my fan base first and foremost

00:34 and then anyone else who wants to come

00:36 could come to a place that like reflected our ideologies

00:41 and just reflected like unity, love,

00:43 and I don't know, just create a new thing,

00:47 a festival that's representative of a new idea

00:50 and a new way of thinking.

00:52 (crowd cheering)

00:55 This is the show.

00:57 I wanted to keep the price point at 49.50

01:05 because the biggest thing I've learned

01:09 is that the structures that we got in place

01:13 and the gigs and festivals at the minute,

01:15 they're just so unrepresentative of people.

01:18 It's like massive ticket charges,

01:21 massive prices that most of the time

01:24 aren't really going to the artist anyway.

01:26 (upbeat music)

01:29 (crowd cheering)

01:32 (upbeat music)

01:34 (upbeat music)

01:38 (crowd cheering)
