Bar Kylie is a roving Kylie Minogue worship service disguised as a dance party, popping up in Sydney with wall‑to‑wall bangers, drag tributes and a crowd that knows every ad‑lib and key change by heart.
Think less "club night" and more travelling shrine. Bar Kylie rolls into Sydney a few times a year, usually landing in Darlinghurst venues like Kinselas, and turns them into a pink, sequinned pressure cooker of Minogue devotion. DJ Argonaut and friends dig deep into the catalogue – from Stock Aitken Waterman classics to Tension‑era club cuts – while the floor becomes a mass sing‑along.
The Other Minogue
The star of the show is Millie Minogue — a Melbourne-born queer icon with decades of lived nightlife history behind her. She began her career touring with Les Girls, before spending four years on the road with Carlotta and her legendary troupe.
The Kylie impersonation emerged at the suggestion of close friend Peter Alexander, and the response was immediate. The act took off, Millie left her hairdressing job, and Millie Minogue was born — a glittering alter ego that has performed across Australia since the mid 2010s.
Costumes are half the fun: gold hot pants, feathered headpieces, white jumpsuits, or your best "Padam" fantasy. Expect big production tribute shows from drag Kylies (often led by the ever‑iconic Millie Minogue) between DJ sets, plus cheeky challenges and midnight moments that reward those who know their bridges and middle‑eights.
Line‑ups and venues change with each edition, so treat Bar Kylie less like a fixed bar and more like a pop‑up pilgrimage. Check upcoming dates and tickets at barkylie.com, then grab your glitter, warm up your falsetto, and get ready to scream‑sing "Your Disco Needs You" with several hundred new best friends.
Kylie Loveboat: The Floating Dancefloor
Bar Kylie doesn’t stop on land. The Kylie Loveboat is the venue’s floating party edition cruising around Sydney Harbour — a queer dancefloor with skyline views, disco balls and DJs on deck. It’s where harbour breezes meet house beats, turning the city’s iconic waters into a moving celebration of queer pride and music. The LoveBoat sets sail around Mardi Gras and other special events. Keep an eye on sailing dates for this seasonal spectacle.
