Trixie Mattel has been announced to host an intimate fan event at the O2 Blueroom inside The O2 London, in conversation with social media sensation Max Balegde.

It will come just a week after Mattel delivers a DJ set at Mighty Hoopla UK.

When is Trixie Mattel performing at Mighty Hoopla?

The drag superstar and beauty brand owner is set to perform live on Sunday 31 May 2026 in Brockwell Park, London, at the LGBTQ+ festival.

Mattel’s career rocketed to global success following her stint on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 7 in 2015, where she placed 6th.

She later returned to compete in All Stars season 3, where she was crowned the winner in 2018. Notably, Mattel has a successful podcast with her season 7 sister Katya Zamolodchikova, called The Bald and the Beautiful.

In recent years, the drag superstar appeared in her own Discovery+ renovation series Trixie Motel and released her double LP The Blonde and Pink Albums, which led to her making her Coachella debut on 12 April 2025 via her Solid Pink Disco DJ tour.

Her interviewer, Balegde, rose to fame on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Since making his mark on the internet, the 27-year-old has accumulated over 3.6 million followers on the platform and has even gone international, appearing on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia last year.

Mattel’s O2 gig follows previous Priority presents: an O2 Evening with events including journalist and Inside the Manosphere presenter Louis Theroux, Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks, and broadcaster Fearne Cotton.
