Following a barnstorming few days of festivals over the bank holiday weekend (May 23-26), up next among the music festivals in south London’s Brockwell Park is Mighty Hoopla. The two-day pop fest will return this weekend (May 31-June 1) headlined by superstars Ke$ha and Ciara.
Mighty Hoopla bills itself as the UK’s biggest pop festival, and the day festival double-header is famed for its inclusivity, freedom and fun. Beyond the headliners, this year’s Hoopla lineup is stacked as ever, featuring the likes of Jade, Jojo, Loreen, Erika Jayne and many, many more.
Heading to one (or both) days of Mighty Hoopla 2025? Here’s everything you need to know about the festival, from the full lineup and set times to the weather forecast.

How to get to Mighty Hoopla festival
Punters are advised not to drive to the fest, as there is no parking. Instead Hoopla attendees are being asked to take public transport. The nearest tube is Brixton (10 min walk) and the closest train is Herne Hill (2 min walk).
What’s the weather looking like?
On Saturday London will still be in the throes of a ‘mini heatwave’, with sunny skies and temperatures hitting a scorching 25C.
Sunday won’t be quite so balmy, with more clouds and highs of only 21C. There’s a slightly higher chance of rain but not exactly a high chance – with 10 percent chance of precipitation.
Are there any tickets left for Mighty Hoopla?
Mighty Hoopla 2025 is officially sold out. However, you can pick up Saturday, Sunday and weekend tickets through official resale partner Tixel here.
Afterparties
There are several unofficial Mighty Hoopla afterparties that’ll keep the party going into the early hours. There’ll be Sweat at the Clapham Grand (Saturday, tickets here) and parties at Clapham’s The Bridge (Saturday, find out more), The Duke of Edinburgh pub (Saturday, find out more) and Effra Social (Sunday, find out more).
Are Brockwell Park’s day festivals definitely still going ahead?
They certainly are! For 2025, anyway. The last month or so has put Brockwell Park’s day festivals in the spotlight, with anti-festival campaigners Protect Brockwell Park on the one side and Lambeth Council and festival promoters Brockwell Live (supported by community group SayYesLambeth) on the other.
Following a court decision that ruled the festivals didn’t have the correct planning permission, Brockwell Live released a statement saying the events will go ahead.
