Infinite Disco was a livestream concert by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue, held in support of her fifteenth studio album Disco (2020). It was broadcast on two dates in 2020 and was a joint-venture production by Driift and BMG Rights Management.[1]

The livestream was announced on 19 October 2020, and a clip of Minogue singing "Magic" was released the same day. The concert was broadcast on 7 November 2020 and again on 31 December 2020 for New Year's Eve. Each broadcast was streamed four times both days to accommodate different time zones.

On 12 November 2021, the show was released on CD, DVD, and Blu-ray as part of the Guest List Edition of Disco. An LP version followed on 6 May 2022.

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]
