Speaking about next year’s festival, founder Glyn Fussell said: “It was always going to be hard to beat this year’s festival but I think the 2025 line up is the mightiest of Mighty Hooplas. We have all poured nothing short of liquid joy into next year. It’s a labour of love and it’s all because this community deserves to come together and celebrate en masse. Now, release the confetti!”
Co-founder Jamie Tagg adds: “It’s been such a joy to put this lineup together. It feels like the stars have finally aligned and allowed us to book so many acts we have wanted for years. With more stages, more production and more live artists than ever before, we hope to create another incredible weekend for our audience.”
