Mighty Hoopla 2022

[VoR]

Demographic wise there obviously were a lot of twinks and muscle queens, but I did see plenty of bears too. It was a Steps headliner after all

Are you expecting a more refined demographic for the Sugababes?

 

[Devil]

After going through friends videos it turns out Steps did more than I remember. I was hammered by the end

But all the TITS AND MESH on display.

SO MUCH MESH

I felt BUTCH

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m not at Mighty Hoopla but I had some mesh tops back in the 90s, maybe I should dig them out again.

I was referring to queen Faye recently reading us all to filth by observing in an interview that the fans at their gigs ‘were twinks in the 90s and now they’re all bears’.

Oh yes I saw that.

Gays at festivals are such a disaster.

 

[Soldi]

Also, that level of gym addicted homosexuals wandering around in mesh tops does fuck all for anyone’s self esteem…

Ugh gay Twitter is full of it. There really is NOTHING WORSE.

 

[Halli]

Was LOUISE yesterday or today?

Had serious FOMO yesterday with that line up

 

[Sheena]

Louise is today.

 

[Sheena]

I wonder if she’ll do The Slightest Touch just to JOIN IN

Louise in her VIP box at Steps' last concert at the o2 losing her shit to The Slightest touch was a moment

 

[GinAg (39)]

The MESH!

 

[Sheena]

The MESH!

EVERY FUCKING WHERE

 

[Sheena]

And who knew Cleopatra we’re going to be an actual highlight of the weekend?!

 

[Lucille]

EVERY FUCKING WHERE

IS IT MEANT TO BE SEXY?

‘CAUSE IT AIN’T.

 

[Kratz]

Last time it was all Aztec co-ords. I guess this is the year of the mesh.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Well I fucking loved that. I saw Kate Nash (nope), Macy Gray (brilliant, what a woman!), 2 Unlimited (YAY, so much fun), Little Boots and Tia Kofi (Little and Large), The Vivienne (Brilliant, but too many costume changes), Kim Wilde (sensational!) and Sugababes (what a moment I didn't know I needed!). Also saw bits of Katy B (who looked amazing).

Also got myself up on the viewing platform, due to my injury. Honestly would recommend, (although disabled festival politics were quite a thing). Tia Kofi came and sat up with the cripples for Sugababes, which was quite thrilling.

Oh there was plenty of that.

I managed to get away with my shit shirt. I became quite desensitised to all the flesh and absurd outfits after a couple of hours.

Also bumped into @Tetris-Rock and either @Iguana or @Tisch who seemed lovely, although the meetings were super brief!

 

[GinAg (39)]

The rain held off to boot which was nice. It became bitterly cold at times.

Oh and I'M SOBER! A true milestone!

 

[monsta]

I met my darling @dUb tonight and lost my mind.

Also had iconic chat with @Berly and @VoR. All absolute huns!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Some of my Parisian gays are there!

 

[Ill Advised]

Kim Wilde was awesome! Definite highlight for me

 

[Penelope]

DIED at how resentful the brief snatch of a runout for About You Now was!

 

[monsta]

Also @Penelope @Tisch and @Iguana were all angels. Love to you all!

still deceased about MKS!

 

[Penelope]

Also an UTTER DELIGHT to meet all the girls this evening (@Sheena LETTING THE TEAM DOWN by not running into me, but otherwise a delightful time had by all - lovely to meet @monsta and @Gangsta Nancy Lam and REMEET @dUb and the TISCHGUANAS, and @VoR of course)

 

[monsta]

I CRIED in LOUISE’S face

 

[Penelope]

Also loved Jimbo serving the PLATONIC IDEAL of a Jimbo set - one single go-out of Kim Petras - Coconuts in a pair of Lolo Ferrari-sized falsies and DONE

I turned up as Jimbo was coming off stage. I was gutted.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I still cannot get over how good Kim Wilde was. I would absolutely go and see her on tour.

I did see you. Across a crowded urinal.

AS IT EVER WAS.

 

[Sheena]

Kim and Steps the weekend highlights for me, but to be honest, Cleopatra came close. They were weirdly brilliant! The hi-nrg cover of Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent was amazing!

 

[monsta]

Kim was utterly iconic

 

[Sheena]

She and Cascada (!) we’re the busiest that tent was all weekend. Was really nice to see.

 

[Berly]

Self Esteem was the absolute highlight of the whole weekend, she really delivered and even made me cry at one point.

Steps and Sugas were amazing headliners but agree with whoever said they should’ve been swapped around.

Also brilliant to meet @dUb and @monsta the huns

 

[Apoca]

Weirdly, this thread makes my heart full but maybe that's normal after the past two years.

Glad you all had a great time.

 

[FetchFugly]

Good to read that everyone enjoyed the festivities.

She and Cascada (!) we’re the busiest that tent was all weekend. Was really nice to see.

Oh that's lovely. I did wonder how she would do opposite Jessie. The year I went the tent was rammed earlier for Vengaboys and B*Witched, but Belinda had Lily Allen on at the same time and, while there was still a good crowd, it was noticeably much roomier.
