After a stunning 2024 line-up, Mighty Hoopla 2025 just got even better as the popular festival has announced two huge US stars as headliners.
00s fans will be thrilled as Saturday sees R&B legend Ciara take to the stage while Sunday’s headliner is the iconic Kesha.
This year saw 60,000 music lovers head to the London festival, making it the most successful year in the festival’s history.
Ciara and Kesha aren’t the only big names on the line up though as Eurovision’s two-time champion Loreen is the special guest on Sunday.
Saturday’s special guest is yet to be announced but organisers are promising an exciting pop artist will be revealed.
They will join the likes of Jojo, Jamelia, Daniel Bedingfield, Omar Rudberg, Mutya Buena, Vengaboys, Kash Nash & The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, G Flip, Pixie Lott, and Lemar.
Mighty Hoopla has been a UK festival staple since 2017, hosted in South London’s Brockwell Park on the last weekend of May.
Founder Glyn Fussell said: ‘It was always going to be hard to beat this years festival but I think the 2025 line up is the mightiest of Mighty Hooplas. We have all poured nothing short of liquid joy into next year, it’s a labour of love and it’s all because this community deserves to come together and celebrate en mass. Now release the confetti!’
Co-founder Jamie Tagg added: ‘It’s been such a joy to put this lineup together, it feels like the stars have finally aligned and allowed us to book so many acts we have wanted for years. With more stages, more production and more live artists than ever before, we hope to create another incredible weekend for our audience.’
This year’s festival got a little muddy but fans still flocked to Brixton for Nelly Furtado, B*witched, Jessie Ware, Rita Ora and Bambie Thug.
Organisers have promised popular stages The Bump and Queertopia will return with DJ sets and, of course, a support for rising queer artists.
2025 will see Jayda G, Allie X, Girls Don’t Sync, Elkka, Lion Babe, Big Freedia, The Illustrious Blacks and Tom Rassmussen, taking to The Bump stage.
