POP superstar Kylie Minogue will be coming to Oxfordshire next summer to perform at Blenheim Palace’s Nocturne Live.

The Australian chart topper is the first name to be announced for the four-day festival in June, following in the footsteps of Gary Barlow, Elton John, and Van Morrison.

The songstress will perform a series of career-spanning hits in the palace’s Great Court on the festival’s closing night on Sunday, June 23.

Support will come from multi-million-selling Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Nocturne Live founder Ciro Romano, said: “We jumped at the chance to book Kylie for Nocturne Live.

“She’s an incredible performer with an unbelievable back catalogue to draw upon and her live shows are always spectacular.

“We’re thrilled to have confirmed her for the closing night of next year’s series and look forward to more exciting announcements over the coming months.”

Since its launch in 2015 the series has presented shows from the likes of Gary Barlow, Nile Rodgers, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Elton John, Jamie Cullum, Gregory Porter, Van Morrison, Ennio Morricone, The Corrs and The Jacksons.
