Background and development

edit

Following the release of the singles "Say Something" and "Magic", Minogue announced a livestream performance of songs from her album Disco to be broadcast on 7 November 2020, one day after the album's released.[2][3] Tickets went on sale on 21 October 2020.[4]

The fifty-minute pre-recorded performance was co-directed by Rob Sinclair and Kate Moross. It primarily showcased songs from Disco but also included singles from earlier in Minogue's career that were remixed to have a more disco sound by her longtime contributors Richard Stannard and Steve Anderson.[3][5][6] The performance was choreographed by Ashley Wallen.[6]

On 1 November 2020, Minogue uploaded her performance of "Say Something" from Infinite Disco to her YouTube channel.[7] On 2 November 2020, Minogue shared a 30-second clip showcasing different parts of the performance, including portions of her singing her 2001 single "Love at First Sight" and "I Love It". On 6 November 2020, Minogue uploaded her performance of "Real Groove" from the show to her YouTube channel.[8]

Nearly 30,000 tickets were sold for its initial broadcast.[1][9]
