Kylie to headline London's Hyde Park

Kylie Minogue is to headline a major outdoor show in London's Hyde Park in June.

She will top the bill for one night of the British Summer Time event alongside a line-up which features Grace Jones and Nile Rodgers with Chic.

Minogue's appearance has been announced after she was named Australian Of The Year in The UK at a ceremony in London at the weekend, during the annual Australia Day Gala.

The Australian star will perform at the event on June 21.

"I'm so excited to perform at Hyde Park this summer," she said.

"I have great memories of playing shows there and am looking forward to doing it all again. Given the amazing artists performing and that it will be the longest day of the year, I can't wait."

The star is causing excitement with the forthcoming release of her collaboration with disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder, called Right Here, Right Now.
