Yungblud 'excited' for his music festival to return

"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 festival.

AEG 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."

"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."
