The story of Mighty Hoopla 2025, in 12 pictures – from Kesha to JADE to Ciara
Mighty Hoopla, one of the globe's most proudly queer and pop music-focused music festivals, lit up 's Brockwell Park once again last weekend (June 1–2). With 30,000 fans in attendance, the thankfully rain-free weekend featured a joyful mix of LGBTQ performers and supportive allies. There was also the usual balance of A-list names (one of last year's headliner was Nelly Furtado) and throwback cult favourites. (Daphne & Celeste were a coup!) Here's Attitude's round-up of the weekend, starting with Saturday's best moments… We're actually beyond bringing up that previous infamous festival appearance of theirs now. Respect to them! By the way, we highly recommend the following underrated gems from her discography: 'Beware of the Dog' and 'No More'. She later pulled off one of the shocks of the festival by bringing Craig David (of all people!) on-stage to sing 'Too Little, Too Late' with her. The 'Put the Needle On It' singer may not have mentored on Little Mix's series of The X Factor, but as fellow alumni of the show, the introduction felt like a full circle moment. The show is so far behind them now! Here's an excerpt from our review, which you can read in full here: 'Adele-level charisma, a JK Rowling call-out, club-ready visuals Charli XCX would approve of, and best of all, a truly powerhouse voice – Jade Thirlwall's set was an unignorable statement of star power, and possibly the most exciting moment Hoopla has ever seen.' The superstar also performed hits like 'Goodies', 'Oh' and 'Like a Boy'. Just as she did in her Attitude cover shoot last year. We approve! The star announced on stage that she's pregnant with her second child! Last week, the 'Foundations' singer : 'I love Hoopla. It's the best. I've played it twice. I think it's the perfect place to do it. I think it is for this audience. It's needed, that voice. There's a gap in talking about this in pop culture. Yes, it's heavy in subject matter, but it will also feel really joyous to perform it, I think, and be this really fun, empowered, fiery moment.' The pop icon is the latest in a string of high-profile names to headline the festival, following in the footsteps of Jessie Ware, Kelly Rowland, Chaka Khan and Cheryl. As well as old hits 'Tik Tok' and 'Your Love Is My Drug', the star performed recent material like 'BOY CRAZY' and 'JOYRIDE.' The post The story of Mighty Hoopla 2025, in 12 pictures – from Kesha to JADE to Ciara appeared first on Attitude.
