Kylie confirms appearance at Abba tribute gig

August 31, 2009

Diminutive pop diva Kylie Minogue is to perform Abba classics Super Trouper and When All Is Said And Done at a tribute concert this month.

Marking the Australian singer's only live UK performance during 2009, the Thank You For The Music gig will take place in London's Hyde Park on 13th September.

The 41-year-old has described the opportunity to perform classic Abba songs alongside members of the original band as "a dream come true".

She told reporters: "Their music has played such a great part in my life from a very early age and I'm thrilled I'll be able to share that with them personally."

Thank You For The Music: A Celebration of the Music of Abba is being organised by BBC Radio 2 and will also feature performances by Lulu, Chaka Khan and The Feeling.

Cast members from the West End Abba musical Mamma Mia! are further expected to appear at the event, which will be hosted by Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans.

It was recently reported that the success of the big-screen version of Mamma Mia! had prompted an increasing number of couples to celebrate their nuptials in Greece, where the film is set.
