Kylie conquers the Alps
Kylie Minogue hit the heights with a spectacular mountain top concert to mark the end of the ski season at the leading Austrian resort of Ischgl.
The Australian star sang in front of 20,000 fans, many of them skiers and snowboarders enjoying the last of the winter's snow. The Tirolean village's Top of the Mountain concert on the first Saturday in May has long been established as the Alps' major music event, and Kylie follows a long line of superstars who have been keen to do the end of season gig - the most recent being Sir Elton John, Pink and Melanie C - on a specially constructed stage up on the mountain at 2320m.
Kylie wowed the audience, including winter sports fans from Austria, Germany, Britain, Holland, Italy and Russia, in a high-energy show that involved numerous costume changes. At one point during the concert snow was falling heavily to add extra magic to the event - and prompted proficient snowboarder Kylie to say how good it would be to ride the slopes of Ischgl too.
