Co-founder Jamie Tagg said: “Every year we strive for pop perfection and next year’s mix of international artists, boybands, girlbands, live acts and DJs delivers just that. We still have some huge names to announce, so we’re very confident this will be our most in demand year yet.”
Returning to the festival in 2026 is The Bump, which welcomes a host of DJs and live performers including headline sets from Trixie Mattel and Horse Meat Disco, alongside Jodie Harsh and fka.m4a.
The two day bash will also see the return of Queertopia, a “specially crafted stage showcasing the best up and coming names within the queer space” featuring Empress Of, Mykki Blanco and many more.
Last year’s event saw Kesha and Ciara headline alongside Kate Nash, Pixie Lott, Loreen, Vengaboys, Mutya, Jamelia, Jojo, Erika Jayne, G Flip, Daniel Bedingfield and more.
During last year’s event, Jake Shears made a surprise appearance during Kesha’s headline performance on the closing night as they played ‘We R Who We R’ and the Scissor Sisters classic track ‘Let’s Have A Kiki’.
The event came under threat in the weeks running up to the festival after local resident Rebekah Shaman, a member of the Protect Brockwell Park group, took legal action against Lambeth Council, arguing that organisers Brockwell Live did not have the correct planning permission for the event.
Despite a judge ruling in her favour the Mighty Hoopla along with Wide Awake and Field Day all went ahead.
