Cheryl and Eve among amazing names confirmed for Mighty Hoopla 2021

Words: Jamie Tabberer

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel we see? Yes, it is – in the form of Cheryl and Eve performing at this year’s Mighty Hoopla festival!

Yep, ex-X Factor star Cheryl tops the bill for this year’s pop-and-queer-tastic music extravaganza in London, it has been announced, with the likes of Eve, Gabrielle and Becky Hill following close behind.

Not to mention En Vogue: for this writer’s money, the best name of all!

The full line-up for was released this morning, with other throwback acts including Atomic Kitten, Sonique and Whigfield.

The news follows months of cancelled cultural events due to coronavirus, including last year’s Hoopla; it was recently confirmed that this summer’s Glastonbury would once again be pushed back.
