Mighty Hoopla has announced a stellar line-up for its upcoming 10th anniversary edition, with names on the bill including Robyn, Pussycat Dolls, Kelis, Bebe Rexha and more.

The huge UK pop festival is set to return to Brockwell Park in London next summer, celebrating a milestone 10 years since it launched in 2017.

Over the past decade, Mighty Hoopla has brought together thousands of people to celebrate queer joy, freedom, acceptance and the power of music – and organisers have promised that the line-up for 2027 will be the biggest yet.

Taking place on Saturday June 5 and Sunday June 6, global pop superstar Robyn will headline on night one, performing shortly after Kelis, while the Pussycat Dolls will headline on night two as part of their first ever UK festival appearance, following a set from Bebe Rexha.

Other names on the bill include FLO, Nicola Roberts, Eve, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Jordin Sparks, Alcazar and B*Witched, and more names for the 2027 edition are set to be announced at a later date.

“These past 10 years have been the biggest privilege of my life. In a world that can often feel hostile and scary, we have created a celebration of life at its most joyful at Hoopla,” said Co-founder Glyn Fussell.

“It blows my mind daily, and I take protecting it in all its glorious technicolour more seriously than anything. If I could look back at that young, queer, pop-obsessed kid and tell them this would be possible, I wouldn’t have believed it. That is why we won’t stop creating this beautiful space for you all to come and play.”

Co-founder Jamie Tagg added: “It’s wild to think that 10 years ago we couldn’t even get a bank loan because no one thought the festival was a good idea. Now we have some of the biggest names in music wanting to perform on our stages. Having Robyn and The Pussycat Dolls headline is a real pinch-me moment and a genuine honour for us. June can’t come soon enough.”

Also returning next summer is Queertopia, Mighty Hoopla’s stage celebrating the next generation of exciting LGBTQ+ talent, and The Bump, a large dance arena that brings together DJs and celebrates dancefloor culture. Tom Rasmussen, Empress Of and Tsatamis are set for Queertopia, while The Bump line-up already includes Nina Sky, Bridge and Ultra Naté.
