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.

Set across four immersive stages on the sand and within the Bondi Pavilion, Mighty Hoopla Sydney brings the cult UK festival’s signature blend of nostalgia, pop spectacle and radical joy to Australia for the very first time. With tickets on sale now and demand surging, this landmark debut is shaping up as one of Sydney’s most vibrant festival moments of 2026.
