Lily Allen to headline Mighty Hoopla 2026
Lily Allen has been revealed as one of the headliners for the Mighty Hoopla festival next year, marking her triumphant return to the pinnacle of the pop sphere.
The festival, which has become a staple of the summer in London’s Brockwell Park since its inception in 2017, is returning with an even more seismic line-up than ever before, combining the forces of both new and classic pop acts to create the ultimate weekend bill.
Next year, Mighty Hoopla is set to take place over the weekend of May 30th and 31st, with Allen performing a UK festival exclusive headline slot of West End Girl in full on the first day, while former Little Mix star Perrie will be the main act to grace the stage the following day.
Allen’s return to form comes as she recently surprise released her latest album West End Girl to acclaim, marking her first new music in some seven years. Her announcement of performing at Mighty Hoopla comes hot off the heels of her UK tour selling out in the space of minutes when it went on sale last week. She is set to kick that run of gigs off at The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow on March 2nd, 2026.
Speaking of Mighty Hoopla’s massive line-up for 2026, which also includes Scissor Sisters, Jessie J, and Liberty, its 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.” The festival also noted that it had over 100 acts still to announce to round out the weekend.
The return of Mighty Hoopla for 2026 comes after a turbulent period for the festival last summer, where it was almost cancelled due to a court case from local residents, which alleged that the organisers, Brockwell Live, broke planning laws by extending its events over its lease time for Brockwell Park.
Tickets for Mighty Hoopla 2026 will go on sale from November 11th, 2025, at 10am local time.
