Kylie Minogue And Orville Peck Slay WeHo Pride With Surprise Duet Debut
Kylie Minogue brought the house down at Outloud Fest in West Hollywood Pride on Sunday night with a special guest and a new song. The Australian pop icon took the stage with Orville Peck for the live debut of their new collaboration, Midnight Ride, set to release this Friday.
The two thrilled the crowd with their country-meets-disco jam as Diplo DJ’d onstage. Minogue’s powerful vocals soared as she sang, Let me take you on a midnight ride, baby you and I. The pair matched in black country outfits, with Minogue rocking shiny, silver fringe and Peck sporting a silver-encrusted cowboy hat.
Peck’s surprise appearance came midway through Minogue’s hour-long set. Accompanied by two background singers and a handful of dancers, Minogue ran through a tight set of her biggest hits, including All the Lovers, Slow, Spinning Around, In Your Eyes, and a final one-two punch of Padam Padam and Can’t Get You Out of My Head.
“We’re going to do a lot of singing tonight,” Minogue told the thousands of fans who had camped out since early afternoon. She thanked them for their support and said she was grateful “we can all be ourselves all together tonight.”
West Hollywood Mayor John M. Erickson declared June 2 “Kylie Minogue Day.” He presented the singer with a street sign bearing her name. Minogue shared that she’s “been coming to WeHo forever” and is often incognito at the bars and clubs. “If you see a really short person with a baseball cap and really plain look, that’s me,” she joked.
Other performers included Bebe Rexha, who sang I’m the Drama and her David Guetta hit I’m Blue with Diplo. Big Freedia, Ashnikko, Vincint, and Destiny Rogers also took the stage.
