A major new charity concert in support of the UK’s trans community has been announced for 11th March 2026 at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.

Olly Alexander states that “Community action is essential” and continued to emphasise that “I believe that in these times, community action isn’t just important – it’s essential! We need real and lasting change. Through solidarity, creativity and collective fundraising, we can fight back against the politics of fear and exclusion and build a world where everyone can thrive.”
He added that the night will be “special and unforgettable”, celebrating the creativity and impact of trans and non-binary people across the arts.
The night will bring together an expansive roster of LGBTQIA+ performers and allies. Among those confirmed to take the stage are Christine and the Queens, Adam Lambert, Kae Tempest, Jasmine.4.T, MNEK, Romy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and many more.

The organisers of Mighty Hoopla, a massive pop festival, will return to Brockwell Park, London, on the 30th & 31st May 2026. On the importance of the event, co-founders Glyn Fussell and Jamie Tagg said that ““We have been working behind the scenes to organise something on this scale for a long time, to not only fundraise but also publicly stand with the trans community who are under daily attack. It is time we came together, got organised and unite to fight back against the hate. This is about allyship, empathy and holding up those we love.” Tickets for the festival are on sale now and feature prominent figures in the LGBTQIA+ community such as Trixie Mattel, Agnes, Jodie Harsh and Todrick Hall. With pop icons Lily Allen and Perrie headlining the weekend.
