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.

The 2026 lineup’s first wave will feature an astoundingly eclectic variety of talents, including Lily Allen, and Scissor Sisters.

Saturday, May 30th night will be headlined by Lily Allen, who is set to perform hits like "Smile," "Not Fair," "The Fear," and "LDN," joined by Jessie J, Todrick Hall, JLS' Horse Meat Disco, Agnes, Appleton, Empress Of, Heather Small, and many more. Rumours suggest a possible surprise guest appearance — but we’ll let you guess who it might be.

On Sunday, May 31st Scissor Sisters will headline the festival, performing alongside star Perrie, Five. The weekend will also include throwback performances from  icons such as Alexandra Burke, Trixie Mattel, Booty Luv, Cascada, Estelle, m4a, Jaguar and many more — promising a true pop extravaganza for all attendees.

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.
