Kylie Minogue returned to Melbourne on September 26 and delivered a 20-minute pre-game performance at the AFL Grand Final that had over 100,000 fans at the MCG completely captivated. The set featured multiple costume changes, pyrotechnics, and more than 100 dancers, with Kylie running through hits like“Love At First Sight,”“Spinning Around,”and“Padam Padam.”
The show included surprise collaborations with William Barton, G Flip, and Dom Dolla, and opened with a tribute to Mike Brady’s“One Day In September”woven into“Light Up.”Kylie said she always wanted to reference the iconic footy anthem in an unexpected way. For the finale, she performed“Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”while suspended high above the stadium on a circular platform.
The full performance is available to watch online now. Whether you’re a lifelong Kylie fan or just here for the spectacle, this is one of those cultural moments that blends Australian pop royalty with the country’s biggest sporting event.
