Grindr returns to Mighty Hoopla 2026 with giveaways, drag talent & its iconic ‘Bussy’

Grindr is kicking off this year’s European Grindr Rides Again tour at Mighty Hoopla, bringing its “Global Gayborhood” to life with large-scale festival activations, interactive experiences, giveaways and the return of the now-iconic Grindr “Bussy”. Now in its third year globally and second year in Europe, the wider tour will continue across London, Cannes, Amsterdam, Brighton and Madrid throughout Pride season, creating more opportunities for queer connection and community beyond the app.

At Mighty Hoopla, festivalgoers can expect the return of the refreshed Grindr “Bussy”, alongside interactive games, DJs, drag queen guest appearances, merch and subscription giveaways over the weekend. The Bussy will also feature a professional photo booth experience where attendees can level up their thirst trap pictures and festival selfies with professional-quality shots designed to get them ‘grid-ready in one click’.
