This summer’s programme of festivals at south London’s Brockwell Park kicked off in a huge way over the Bank Holiday, with Project 6, Wide Awake, Cross the Tracks and City Splash. And that’s set to continue this weekend, with one of London’s most fun fests: Mighty Hoopla.
This year is shaping up to be the mightiest of Hooplas. The Saturday line-up features throwback headliners Nelly Furtado and En Vogue (as well as the likes of Slayyyter, Bananarama and Rebecca Black), while the Sunday is headed up by Jessie Ware, Rita Ora and Alison Goldfrapp. As always, lower down the line-up Mighty Hoopla is stacked with excellent names and events.
After a week of uncertainty over the condition of Brockwell Park (heavy rainfall and last weekend’s festivals have apparently left the park a bit worse for wear – it’s pretty muddy and wet), it’s now been confirmed that Mighty Hoopla 2024 will definitely go ahead. Organisers have advised visitors to wear ‘sturdy’ footwear.
Heading to Mighty Hoopla 2024? Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s fest.
