Mighty Hoopla Sydney has locked in another major boost ahead of its Australian debut, confirming UK R&B icon Jamelia and Australian pop favourites Rogue Traders for the one-day beachside spectacular on Saturday 21st February. Landing on Bondi Beach, the globally beloved festival will deliver eight hours of pop, dance and queer celebration on Bidjigal, Birrabirrangal and Gadigal Country, less than one month from now.

Jamelia will make her long-awaited Australian return with an exclusive Sydney performance, bringing era-defining hits including ‘Superstar’ back to local fans for the first time in years. Meanwhile, Rogue Traders, led by Natalie Bassingthwaighte and James Ash, will inject high-voltage Australian pop energy into the lineup, reaffirming their status as one of the country’s most enduring crossover acts.

The day-long party boasts an impressively diverse roster, spanning DJs, drag, cabaret and ballroom culture. Queensland DJ Ney Like A Horse leads the club-focused contingent alongside Hayday, Gaff E, Lagoon Femshayma and Toby Corton, while Reuben Kaye, Clitclaw and Kween Kong deliver theatrical flair. A standout moment arrives with The Blak Queens First Nations showcase, led by Miss Ellaneous and featuring Josie Baker, Chandon Connors and a powerhouse Blak dance crew choreographed by Sani Townson.

Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, and Becky Hill Join Kesha at Mighty Hoopla Sydney 2026.

Beloved UK pop festival Mighty Hoopla is officially heading Down Under, announcing its Australian debut for Saturday, 21st February, 2026. Set to take over Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, the event promises a high-energy celebration of pop, queerness, and unfiltered joy — headlined by global superstar Kesha.

The announcement confirms what many fans suspected after Kesha’s Sydney date was missing from her recently unveiled TITS OUT tour. She’ll now headline Mighty Hoopla’s first-ever Australian edition, bringing anthems like TiK ToK, We R Who We R, Praying, and Joyride to a sea of glitter-covered fans on the sand.

While Kesha is the only artist confirmed so far, organisers have promised a stacked lineup of “iconic artists, drag royalty, DJs, and queer party collectives” from across Australia and the globe. The full list of acts is expected to drop soon — and if the London editions are anything to go by, fans can expect a mix of nostalgic pop icons and queer-forward performers.

Pre-sale tickets for Mighty Hoopla Sydney go live at 10:00am AEDT on Wednesday, 22nd October, followed by general on-sale from 10:00am AEDT on Thursday, 23rd October. With one of the UK’s most vibrant festivals landing at Bondi, and Kesha leading the charge, the debut promises to be a bold and beautiful start to a new Aussie tradition.
