"You're spectacular," she told the 35,000-strong crowd. "I am going to commit all of that to memory," she beamed at the end of her 65-minute, 15-song set. This was the return of Radio 2's annual live event after an absence of four years, due to a combination of coronavirus and the cancellation of events around the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year. The weekend in Leicester was the first time the festival had been expanded to two days and also the first time since the event started in 2011 it had been held outside London. Kylie came on stage in a shimmery blue see-through PVC trouser suit, accompanied by an eight-person purple dance troupe, going straight into her hits Spinning Around, In Your Eyes and On A Night Like This. "You're making me feel amazing," she told the crowd, before thanking Rick Astley, her old Stock Aitken Waterman label-mate, for wearing a t-shirt with her first album cover on it, during his set earlier in the day. At 55, Kylie may be the exactly the same age as Radio 2 and is famously the only woman in UK chart history to have had number one albums in five consecutive decades, but even after all these years in the business, her sheer joy at performing was clear to see throughout this headlining set. The show capped the end of quite a summer for Kylie. Padam Padam not only returned her to the UK top 10 for the first time in more than a decade, but the song became such a cultural touchstone that it now features in Hansard, the official report of all parliamentary debates, after it was mentioned by the Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle. Here the audience was made to wait for her summer smash. Kylie's new album Tension, which is released on Friday, was prominently featured, with a very enthusiastic reception for the title track, which is also her current single. There was also a live debut for the uplifting dan){kind=link}
