Mighty Hoopla Maltaの主催者は、航空業界のコスト上昇を理由に、2026年開催予定だった音楽フェスティバルの中止を発表した。同イベントは、2025年の初開催に続くマルタでの第2回開催として計画されていた。
主催者は5月7日に声明を発表し、旅行および宿泊の動向を精査した結果、中止を決定したと伝えた。航空券と宿泊費の平均価格が約300ポンドから450ポンド近くまで上昇したことに加え、夏の期間に予想される混乱によって航空便の減少と価格高騰が避けられない状況であると指摘した。同フェスティバルは9月24日から27日まで開催予定で、シュガーベイブス（Sugababes）、アグネス（Agnes）、ベス・ディットー（Beth Ditto）、ブーティ・ラヴ（Booty Luv）、ゴットミック（Gottmik）、ジェイク・シアーズ（Jake Shears）、リバティ・エックス（Liberty X）らの出演が予定されていた。
