Mighty Hoopla wrapped up its 2026 edition in Brockwell Park on Sunday (31st May), following a weekend packed with pop favourites, surprise appearances and festival singalongs.

The festival kicked off on Saturday with performances from Lily Allen, JLS, Delta Goodrem, Tulisa, MNEK, Agnes and Appleton, with Lily joined on stage by JADE and Appleton welcoming Heidi Range as a special guest.

Sunday's line-up was topped by Scissor Sisters, who brought out Belinda Carlisle, Kelly Osbourne and Sir Ian McKellen during their set. Elsewhere, Perrie, Five, Louise, Jane McDonald, Liberty X and The Wanted 2.0 all performed across the day, while Louise was joined by special guest Tia Kofi.

Since launching in 2017, Mighty Hoopla has become one of the UK's biggest celebrations of pop music and queer culture, returning to Brockwell Park each year with a line-up spanning chart favourites, cult icons and emerging artists.
