Ain't no party like an Official Charts party!
This November the Official Singles Chart turns 70, but being the birthdayzillas we are, we’re getting the celebrations underway nice and early on June Bank Holiday weekend down at the UK’s best and most inclusive pop event – the Mighty Hoopla Festival.
Come party with us in London’s Brockwell Park on Saturday 4 June, 1.30pm, as we pop our festival cherry to bring you ‘Official Charts presents…POP INJUSTICE: 70 YEARS OF ICONIC NUMBER 2s.’
Translating 70 years of Official Singles Chart history to a festival setting for the first time, Official Charts, Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s Push The Button DJs, and The Grand’s Dream Team take to The Pleasure Palace stage at Mighty Hoopla for a special set showcasing a dazzling decade-hopping playlist of Number 1s-that-unbelievably-never-were. From Spice Girls to Katy Perry, Queen to Girls Aloud, expect to discover iconic tunes that *gasp* stalled in second place, nerdy pop facts, and a deep, deep feeling of injustice.
Launched in 2016, Mighty Hoopla this year expands to a two-day 50,000 capacity event in Brockwell Park, South London. The joy-fuelled pop bash delivers pop stars, drag artists, comedians and DJs across seven stages, attracting some of the UK’s most dedicated and diverse fans of pop music.
founder says: "As a festival that celebrates all things pop, we are thrilled to be working with The Official Charts and to be part of their 70th anniversary year is a real honour for us."
