The LGBTQ+ themed festival will take place in Brockwell Park on June 8th 2019.
Organisers said: “Mighty Hoopla’s is a philosophy that looks set to be bigger, better, wilder and free-er than ever this June. Since its inception in 2016, Mighty Hoopla has led the charge to become not only the most colourful party in the town but a thrilling space in which all walks of life, not to mention pop royalty, stand side-by-side with London’s most subversive, alternative nightlife.
“And it’s this fine balance which is the essence of Mighty Hoopla, the singular festival in which truly anything is possible and truly everyone is welcome. A festival that celebrates pop and club culture.”
Other acts and club-nights confirmed for Mighty Hoopla 2019 also include, with today’s additions in bold: Alice Chater, Basement Orchestra, Buttmiztvah, Fleetmac Wood, Gay Garage, George Michael Disco, Goldierocks, House Gospel Choir, Hungama, Jamelia, Karaoke Hole, Liberty X, Livin’ Joy ft.

Since it all began in 2016, Mighty Hoopla has pioneered celebrations which amplify the capital’s subversive and alternative nightlife. Hoopla prides itself on being a celebration of diversity and “queerdom” and champions all things love, pop and glitter.
Commenting on last year’s event, Glyn Fussell, co-founder at East Creative, said: “Everything we’ve been working towards, felt like it came to fruition at last year’s Mighty Hoopla. It was the happiest day of my life.” Mighty Hoopla was initially set out in 2016 to provide support for performers, dancers, DJs and creatives in the nightlife industry.
All of whom, at East Creative, are brought together under the wider manifesto of inclusivity, equality, and change. Jamie Tagg, East Creative co-founder, said: “This is a new ecosystem for LGBTQ events. We had to invent it because nobody else had.” Early-bird tickets are on sale now at www.mightyhoopla.com and prices start at £45 minus booking fees.
