Spotted on the Guardian today:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/nov/28/sugababes-sophie-ellis-bextor-wolf-alice-and-more-to-play-all-star-charity-concert-for-trans-rights

Raising money for the kimono-clad fox-killer's "Good" Law Project.

Definitely one to avoid!

Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Wolf Alice and more to play all-star charity concert for trans rights

Organised by Olly Alexander and the Mighty Hoopla festival to ‘fight back against the politics of fear and exclusion’, Trans Mission will take place at Wembley Arena in March

I've been trying to work out why MH would do this - they are scheduled to put on three large festivals on in 2026 - in Sydney, London and Malta. That is a huge undertaking. (Especially as last year's London ones nearly went tits up, due to their hopeless organisational skills.)

And with the trans benefit they are putting on another large concert - thus increasing their workload by up to 25%. For no extra money.

And then it hit me. They trying to transwash! For the omnicause, so they will be forgiven for who their owners are. And so all their artists in their main festivals won't cancel them...

May well be the case. OTH, a hell of a lot of the demand for compliance with Gender Identitarianism comes from agents, promoters &, if I understand Graham Linehan, correctly, venue owners.

Agents and promoters I can believe in this case, but not Wembley Arena 😆

Interesting advertising for the Sydney festival - I am surprised that some of the Australian artists listed would want to be associated with them….

Crikey. That's an interesting clutch of text and images.

Take a look at their partners & those they sponsor.
Some careful wording but when you dig into them, it's a festival of "Supporting women by calling men women".

I just popped in to see how Transmission is shaping up - the bottom of the linked mighty hoopla page appears to have an image of a man with an udder instead of genitalia. Kids eh?

Yep - it is up thread, with a “sensitivity filter” required. It is quite disturbing.

Some things should be oppressed for the sake of public decency

Tickets for the Wolf Alice gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Albert Hall went on sale this morning and are sold out.

Nice to know which artists to avoid, but I must admit that the only names I recognized are Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ian McKellen, and he did already seem to me to be a misogynist, so ...

SwirlyGates · 14/12/2025 17:23

Appearances from Monroe Bergdorf, Jolyon Maugham, Shon Faye and Zack Polanski? Enough reason right there to give it a wide berth.

Chersfrozenface · 15/12/2025 09:51

He's been 'Jo Maugham' on the Twix and Bluesky for a bit, I believe (I'm not on either).

Still very amusing, and he'll always be JoMo to me now.

Surely Robin Ince will now, by popular demand in his own mirror, be called upon to act as host and MC. Only reasonable following his recent sacrifice in the name of allyship.

Or he could read some of his poetry, John Cooper Clarke style.

More like Vogon style 😆

Re the line-up: Isn’t Gottmik that American drag queen who is actually a woman but identifies as a man? I find her really troubling. Also, who is paying for her to fly out to Terf Island for this gig?

Yup.

Her travel expenses are likely to be paid by the organisers.

Won't Adam Lambert need ferrying in from the US, too?

Im assuming The Blessed Madonna (not ms Ciccone, the DJ) will be there, judging by this slogan

https://www.reddit.com/r/RoisinMurphy/comments/1pkjpiv/rm_sweatshirt/

Blessed Madonna used to perform as the Black Madonna but changed it after BLM

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/20/dance-music-star-the-black-madonna-changes-name-due-to-racial-insensitivity-blessed-madonna

Which begs the question a la Dixie Chicks and Lady Antebellum, did that not actually occur to you in the first place

If I remember my Catholic primary school correctly, the Black Madonna was an icon of the Virgin Mary in a church somewhere in Poland, which miraculously survived when the church burnt down with only a bit of charring round the edges. Nothing to do with skin colour.

BlackForestCake · 15/12/2025 20:51

Seems I was wrong about that. Never mind.
