Mighty Hoopla has made a huge Lily Allen announcement after fans were left 'heartbroken' by the general sale.

In an Instagram post, representatives for Mighty Hoopla said: "We are lost for words. We can now officially say we are SOLD OUT of Saturday general admission and weekend tickets for Mighty Hoopla 2026."

In the comments, fans expressed their disappointment. "I didn't get a ticket!" one fan cried. "Heartbroken."

A second wrote, "Oh no! I missed out!"

A third simply blamed it on 'The Lily Effect'.
