Mighty Hoopla 2026

By June, the capital attracts 30,000 people united by a love of music, fun, and fashion, under the brilliant summer skies. Mighty Hoopla, with its mantra of freedom and expression, is the crowning jewel of UK extravaganza.

Whether it's basking in the sun with a glass of prosecco or reveling in the dance with the Hoopla community, this is the ultimate experience for anyone part of this festival.

With over 200 artists and performers across 10 stages, Mighty Hoopla is the best celebration of pop, alternative, and queer culture-one no music lover should miss.

Past lineups have included an astoundingly eclectic variety of talents, including Nelly Furtado, Jessie Ware, Sugababes, and Steps, among others like Pabllo Vittar, Cheryl, Years & Years, Chaka Khan, and TLC.

The 2025 lineup included Kesha, Ciara, Loreen, and Adore Delano. Saturday night headliner Ciara brought her hits "Goodies", "Like a Boy", "Level Up", and "Love Sex Magic", and was joined by JoJo, Allie X, Amy Studt, and queer rap icon Big Freedia. Rumours of a surprise guest appearance by Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall were fuelled by angel-themed visuals featured in the festival’s promotional materials.

Headlining on Sunday was Kesha, who was joined by Eurovision winner Loreen, non-binary star G Flip, and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Adore Delano. The weekend was also packed with throwback performances from early 2000s icons including Pixie Lott, Lemar, Booty Luv, Mutya Buena, Kate Nash, and the Vengaboys — a true pop splurge for those in attendance.

But beyond the music, Hoopla hosts a huge array of other club nights, cabaret collectives, and weirder performances-from roving comedians to vogueing troupes, orchestras, secret discos, and mass karaoke-a surprise around every corner.

By nature, Mighty Hoopla has become a key focal point for up-and-coming and established LGBTQ+ artists and performers alike, all under one welcoming roof that makes sure everyone who enters its doors is safe.

As anticipation mounts for this year's edition, Mighty Hoopla promises an even grander spectacle than before. Brace yourselves for an unforgettable experience as Hoopla delivers another extraordinary celebration of music, culture, and community.
