Infinite Disco

**Infinite Disco** was a live stream concert by Kylie Minogue, broadcast in promotion of her fifteenth studio album *Disco* (2020). The one-off show was broadcast across 5 different time zones, and was created so as to provide a spectacle amid the global pandemic. The broadcast ran for an hour and was streamed on 7 November, the day after the release of *Disco*.

## Background and development

Rumours amongst fans and press began in early October about a potential live stream to introduce and promote *Disco*, much like Kylie Presents: Golden was for *Golden* (2018). It was announced on 1 November that Infinite Disco would be live streamed on 7 November.

The show was filmed in LH3 Studios in London, England, and revolved largely around the track list for *Disco*, as well as including other songs from Kylie's career. Though the show featured no costume changes, the show was divided into 4 parts, featuring different props and moods. Infinite Disco was created by Kylie, Kate Moross and Rob Sinclair, while the numbers were choreographed by Ashley Wallen. The cast for the show featured two backing vocalists and ten dancers; these were split into 4 couples and two singles in line with the pandemic restrictions.

The Infinite Disco live stream, as well as the album itself, did well commercially, selling around 100,000 tickets worldwide; this paved the way for the official tour, announced at the end of the New Year's Eve re-run, to be larger and to visit more countries than ever before.

## Show synopsis

The show began with a stripped back instrumental of "Magic", using the countdown from "Light Years" as well as phrases from "Come into My World". Kylie then sings a chorus of "Come into My World", before singing "Magic"; this begins stripped back for the verse and chorus before transitioning into the full version of the song. After this, the show segues into a disco mix of "Can't Get You Out of My Head", where Kylie is joined by two of the coupled dancers. Performances of "Monday Blues" and "Spinning Around" follow, closing the first section.

The second section begins with "Miss a Thing", before the show transitions into a new remix of "In Your Eyes". This is followed by a performance of "Real Groove", largely utilising the LED flooring for the show. This is followed by a groove remix of "Step Back in Time", before Kylie performs a mashup of "Slow" with Blondie's "Rapture". The section closes with a performance of "Giving You Up", which marks the song's first performance in 15 years.

The third section begins with the countdown of "Light Years" before Kylie emerges alone to perform the song; the performance uses strobe lighting and lasers. The song transitions into "Supernova" after the spoken middle 8, where Kylie is joined by the full cast; the outro for "Light Years" is stitched onto the end of "Supernova", before a string segue introduces a 70s version of "All the Lovers". This performances uses the strings from "I Love It" in the final chorus, before transitioning into "I Love It" altogether. This section ends with a performance of "I Believe in You", which borrows elements from both preceding tracks.

The encore begins with a string instrumental with an excerpt of "I Should Be So Lucky", before Kylie performs "Dancefloor Darling". This is performed with the whole cast, flowing straight into "Where Does the DJ Go?" and "Love at First Sight". "Last Chance" was performed next, using elements and excerpts of ABBA's "Voulez-Vous", before the show closed with an extended mix of "Say Something".
