Kylie Minogue has confirmed she will be headlining one of Europe’s largest music festivals this summer and fans are Spinning Around with excitement.

The Australian pop icon, 55, is set to perform at Sziget Festival’s opening night after the cancellation of Australia’s Splendour in the Grass where Kylie was one of the leading acts.

Announcing the August 7 show on her Instagram, she wrote: ‘Sziget are you ready to PADAM with me in August?!!!’

Fans already can’t get the festival out of their heads, flocking to the comment section to express their excitement, with the Budapest event also featuring performances from Fred Again, Liam Gallagher, Halsey, Janelle Monae, and Sam Smith.

Instagram user @nyuszito claimed she has ‘saved’ this year, while @aaaaaaarmii said they had ‘waited 20 years’ to see her perform.

Over on X, @stabalo said ‘Hungary is hungry for Kylie!’ which is echoed by the many users claiming how they can’t wait to see her performance in Hungary.

@volkershulte added: ‘With you everyone is ready to PADAM at any time, no matter where and when and in the summertime you will certainly provide an unforgettable experience. No matter whether it’s day or night, everything will shine brighter when you appear ..PADAM PADAM.’

UK fans will be able to see the legendary songstress on July 13 as she headlines this year’s BST Hyde Park.

Speaking of the upcoming gig, Kylie said: ‘I can’t wait to return to BST Hyde Park this summer.

‘My last appearance at this iconic event was in 2015 and it was a truly unforgettable experience. So excited to see you all again!’

She joins a star-studded lineup including Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, The Corrs, Andrea Bocelli, and Stray Kids.

Many fans excited for both festivals have been begging for a joint performance with fellow pop superstar Madonna, who joined Kylie onstage for the first time ever earlier this year.

The duo – who have often been pitted as rivals – belted out a rendition of Neighbours star Kylie’s famous track Can’t Get You Out of My Head at the Kia Forum, Los Angeles, during Madonna’s Celebrations tour.

After the song ended, they then sang Gloria Gaynor’s legendary track I Will Survive, much to the delight of the crowd.

It continued an incredible 2024 for Kylie as she won her second Grammy Award – 20 years after bagging her first.
