The full lineup for the first-ever Mighty Hoopla Sydney<\/a> has dropped \u2014 and it’s bringing an explosion of sequins, nostalgia and pure pop joy to Bondi Beach on Saturday, February 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge is Kesha, the fearless hitmaker behind ‘Tik Tok’, ‘We R Who We R’ and ‘Joyride’, returning to Australia with her trademark chaos and charisma after headlining the London edition earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joining her on stage are Becky Hill, the UK powerhouse behind ‘Lose Control’ and ‘My Heart Goes (La Di Da)’; Aussie pop favourites Delta Goodrem and Jessica Mauboy; and reality TV royalty Countess Luann, bringing her cabaret flair from The Real Housewives of New York City to Sydney’s shores.<\/p>\n

They’ll be joined by rising UK star Rose Gray and disco-pop maestro Tom Aspaul, plus a packed lineup of DJs, drag performers and queer collectives including Big Wett, Diva Cups, Heaps Gay, and The Blak Queen curated by Miss Ellaneous.<\/p>\n

\"\"Festival founder Glyn Fussell says bringing Mighty Hoopla to Australia has been years in the making. ‘Australia has always been my second home \u2014 you’ve got the best pop fans in the world,’ he said. ‘To finally bring the Hoopla magic to Sydney is a dream come true. Expect joy, chaos, and the campest day of your life.’<\/p>\n

Since launching in 2016, Mighty Hoopla has grown into the UK’s biggest pop festival, celebrating freedom, inclusivity and the art of a good time. Past lineups have featured icons like Nelly Furtado, Sugababes, Years & Years, TLC, Kelly Rowland and Jessie Ware \u2014 and its first Australian outing promises that same glitter-drenched energy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mighty Hoopla Sydney will take over Bondi Beach on Saturday, February 21, 2026, with tickets starting from $169.90 (VIP tickets are $299.90). Pre-sale<\/a> begins 10am AEDT Wednesday, October 22, followed by general on-sale at 10am AEDT Thursday, October 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
