ITV has announced that Kylie Minogue will host an evening of live music to be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX later this year.

An Audience with Kylie will feature “sensational live performances”, while the pop icon will also answer questions from the floor posed by specially invited VIP guests including celebrity superfans.

It will see the Australian star perform beloved numbers from throughout her career – including both early classics and more recent songs, such as this year’s smash-hit chart-topper Padam Padam.

The event will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday 1st December with several A-listers expected to be in attendance, and tickets are set to to on sale from Friday 8th September.

It is the latest revivial of ITV’s long-running An Audience with… format, which most recently saw Adele host a hit show at the London Palladium in November 2021.

The format was first launched in 1978 with a series of six shows fronted by comedian Jasper Carrott, and has since seen a number of big names take to the stage for one-off performances – including Victoria Wood, Shirley Bassey, Sir Cliff Richard and Take That.

Kylie herself previously hosted a version of the show back in 2001, making her one of few headline stars to be invited back for a second time.

“I’m so excited to announce that I am teaming up with ITV for An Audience with at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall!” she said in a statement.

“I’ll be performing some of my favourite tracks from throughout my career and no doubt answering some surprising questions from the audience. I can’t wait to share this moment with you all.”

Meanwhile, ITV’s head of entertainment commissioning Katie Rawcliffe said: “Kylie is unquestionably a music superstar, which makes her the perfect next headline star to front An Audience with. We look forward to another unmissable evening.”
