Melbourne, Aug 27 (ANI): Kylie Minogue is all set to perform at the Thank You For The Music event, a tribute to Abba, in London’s Hyde Park next month.

The Herald Sun quoted Minogue as saying: “The opportunity to perform classic Abba songs on stage with members of Abba really is a dream come true.
“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.”
Britain’s Radio 2 will broadcast the gig live.
Lewis Carnie, Radio 2’s head of programming said: “Everyone at Radio 2 is thrilled that Kylie is joining us in Hyde Park to celebrate the musical genius of Benny and Bjorn…. Her performance promises to be very special and a must-see for all pop music fans.”
