Jade Thirlwall, formerly of the award-winning group Little Mix, is set to headline the renowned Mighty Hoopla festival in 2025, making waves and capturing the hearts of audiences as she embraces her solo career. Known simply as ‘Jade’ in her solo endeavors, Thirlwall will take center stage at this iconic UK queer pop event, which is a vibrant celebration of music and community.
The Mighty Hoopla festival, a two-day extravaganza filled with music, joy, and inclusivity, will be held in the lush surroundings of Brockwell Park, South London, on the 31st of May and the 1st of June. With Jade leading the lineup, excitement is building for what promises to be a memorable event.
Jade’s journey to headliner status at Mighty Hoopla is a testament to her enduring popularity and the strong connection she has with her fans. Festival organizers were inundated with requests from her fanbase, eagerly anticipating her performance. Responding to this overwhelming demand, Jade will be performing on the main stage on Saturday, bringing her unique flair and energy to the festival-goers.
Through her Instagram, Jade shared her excitement about performing at Mighty Hoopla, humorously noting, "I thought instead of being in the crowd every year in a wig/shit disguise, why not be up there putting on a show instead lol." She continued, "So excited to play at one of my favorite festivals and have fun performing with the community that makes me feel so loved. Can’t wait to see you."
Jade’s performance is just one highlight of the festival. Sharing the stage will be a dazzling array of artists including Ciara, known for her hit “Love Sex Magic,” JoJo with her famous tune “Leave (Get Out),” international sensation Kesh, Allie X of Violet Chachki collaboration fame, British icon Jamelia, G Flip, Pixie Lott, Lamar, and the legendary Big Freedia.
Mighty Hoopla is more than just a music festival; it is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, diversity, and emerging talent. Returning to the festival this year is Queertopia, a stage dedicated to highlighting the best and brightest in the queer music scene. Headlining Queertopia will be Moonchild Sanelly, a visionary artist known for her boundary-pushing sounds, joined by rising stars such as Australian artist Jude York, Turkish talent INJI, and English singer/songwriter Hannah Diamond.
Since embarking on her solo career, Jade has been making waves in the music industry. Last year, she released her debut single "Angel of My Dreams," which was met with critical acclaim. She also gained attention for a viral video in which she humorously took a jab at Noel Gallagher, showcasing her charismatic personality and wit.
