Mighty Hoopla has announced a stellar line-up for its 10th anniversary edition, with Robyn and the Pussycat Dolls set to headline the UK pop festival next summer. The bill also features Kelis, Bebe Rexha, FLO and Nicola Roberts, and more names are expected to be confirmed at a later date.
The festival returns to Brockwell Park in South London on Saturday June 5 and Sunday June 6, 2027, marking a decade since it launched in 2017. Robyn will headline the first night, performing shortly after Kelis. The Pussycat Dolls will close the second night following a set from Bebe Rexha, and the appearance marks the group's first ever UK festival performance.
Other names on the 2027 bill include FLO, Nicola Roberts, Eve, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Jordin Sparks, Alcazar and B*Witched. Organisers have promised that the line-up is the biggest the festival has yet assembled, and that further names will be revealed in the coming months.
Over the past ten years, Mighty Hoopla has brought together thousands of people to celebrate queer joy, freedom, acceptance and the power of music. Co-founder Glyn Fussell described the anniversary as the biggest privilege of his life, saying that in a world that can often feel hostile and scary, the festival has created a celebration of life at its most joyful. He said the team takes protecting that space, in all its glorious technicolour, more seriously than anything, and promised that the organisers will not stop creating it.
Fussell also reflected on the festival's origins, saying that if he could speak to his younger, queer, pop-obsessed self, he would not have believed the event would one day be possible. His co-founder Jamie Tagg recalled that a decade ago the organisers could not even secure a bank loan because no one thought the festival was a good idea. Tagg said that having some of the biggest names in music now wanting to perform on the stages is a real pinch-me moment, and that having Robyn and the Pussycat Dolls headline is a genuine honour for the team.
The festival's other stages are also returning next summer. Queertopia, which celebrates the next generation of exciting LGBTQ+ talent, will feature Tom Rasmussen, Empress Of and Tsatamis. The Bump, a huge dance arena that brings together DJs and celebrates dancefloor culture, has already confirmed Nina Sky, Bridge and Ultra Naté.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday November 3 at 10am. The 2027 edition follows the 2026 festival, which ran May 30 to 31 at the same South London site and welcomed more than 60,000 visitors. That line-up included Jade and Lily Allen, Jessie J, Five, JLS, Alexandra Burke, Louise, Cascada, Estelle, Heather Small, Tulisa, The Wanted 2.0 and Liberty X, along with many more acts.
