Kylie Minogue's Brighton Pride Performance Goes Down A Storm With Fans

The chart-topping singer made a few tweaks to her usual show in honour of her LGBTQ fans in attendance.

Kylie Minogue was met with a rapturous reception as she closed the show at Brighton Pride on Saturday night.

The Spinning Around singer has been on tour in the UK (and select European shows) since the end of June, including her critically-acclaimed set in the “Legends” slot at Glastonbury.

While the show hasn’t changed much since her victorious Glasto performance, Kylie did make a few tweaks for her Brighton Pride appearance, all of which went down a storm at the celebratory LGBTQ event.

Most notably, Glastonbury viewers might remember the on-stage wedding which took place during her rendition of Especially For You, in a nod to her Neighbours character’s nuptials back in the 1980s.

What. A. Night! Thanks to @PrideBrighton for a wonderful time! 💖🙋🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/DJLRC3zlFv

When she performed the ballad during her Brighton set, the bride and groom were switched for two men.

Incidentally, Neighbours recently held their first same-sex wedding, which also featured a rendition of Especially For You as the couple walked down the aisle, in a nod to the long-running Australian soap’s history.

She also made a surprise addition to the setlist, performing arguably her campest song, Your Disco Needs You, as a surprise to her fans, which they were very pleased about…

That was astonishingly special to me and I didn't expect Your Disco Needs You or The One and frankly I just love her and this feeling is never going to repeated. Thank you so much Kylie for making this little gay so happy 😭😭😭😭

Kylie just did Your Disco Needs You and I will now never be able to speak or sing again. A MOMENT.

At Pride tonight, I ugly cried (I don't normally cry) to Kylie for almost all her set.

Why?

Because, I was surrounded by people I love and adore who were enjoying my idol just as much as I was. People can be brilliant. I love my friends. And, I love our god, Kylie. 🌈❤️😍

I know I’m going to sound like that guy. But I’ve been to 10 Glastonbury’s and what Kylie did tonight at Brighton blew *many* of those headline sets out the water. An absolute powerhouse.

I have loved kylie for over 30 years and TodayTix heart burst with joy putting on what I think is her best live show since Showgirl.

Her Pride show was simply sublime, made me weep as it reminded me that she has soundtracked my life as I’ve got from boy to gay to married man pic.twitter.com/PQmHUEn8rI

Is Kylie THE ultimate Pride headliner? I think she just may be. What a STAR.

Also among the performers at Brighton Pride this year were chart-topping pop group Clean Bandit, X Factor singer Fleur East and rising star Alice Chater, who opened the show.

There was also a surprise performance from singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé, who had not previously been announced as being on the line-up.

Brighton Pride continues today with performances from Jessie J and Grace Jones, among others.
