Speaking about next year’s festival, founder Glyn Fussell said (via Line Of Best Fit): “It was always going to be hard to beat this year’s festival but I think the 2025 lineup 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!”
Likewise, co-founder Jamie Tagg added that it felt “like the stars have finally aligned” and allowed them to book acts they had 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.”
Next year will see the return of the Queertopia stage, which is dedicated to “showcasing the best and up-and-coming names within the queer space”, and is set to have Jude York, INJI, Hannah Diamond, Majur, charlieeeeee, barbs, Yshee Black and Princess Julia appear.
In a four-star review of the festival’s 2023 instalment, NME wrote: “The feel of the place hits somewhere between a daylight version of Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow, the world’s messiest hen party and the unofficial annual summit for every queer person living within the M25 (and indeed beyond).
“Founded by the team behind the much-loved club night Sink The Pink, Mighty Hoopla isn’t an LGBTQ+ festival per se, but celebrating queer culture forms a huge part of its ethos. While women and queer artists remain woefully underrepresented on the majority of festival bills, that’s not the case here: instead, the line-up is packed with throwback noughties fare, newer dance-adjacent pop music and a number of pop culture deep cuts. In other words, it’s a winning formula.”
