Mighty Hoopla officially kicks off this weekend, organizers confirmed today (Friday, May 31). The plans hung in the balance after Brockwell Park was turned into a muddy mess following heavy rain.
The team have put down ground covers in key areas, such as around the toilets, in conjunction with Lambeth Council.

“We have installed extensive ground surfaces and additional accessible tracking over the last 72 hours. However, the surface can be uneven in parts and the site has areas that are muddy so PLEASE use your sensible shoes, just this once! (Above ankle will keep you safe and dry – the rest of your outfit is all you babes!)”
They went on to advise people to wear boots or wellies because of the mud. They suggested festival-goers leave trainers, sandals or sliders and heels at home, adding they would not “be the best option this weekend”
The annual Mighty Hoopla is popular among the LGBTQ+ community. This year’s performers include Nelly Furtado, Jessie Ware, Rita Ora. In previous years, the likes of Kelly Rowland, Years and Years and Sugababes have graced the festival’s stages.
