Kylie is coming to Sydney for 2012 NEW YEARS EVE!!!

"So many things are happening for my 25th anniversary in music, but I can't think of a better finale for the K25 year than to be in Australia for the Sydney NYE celebrations. I'm a very proud Australian, so coming home to host Sydney New Year's Eve is a dream come true. No matter where I am in the world, I always watch Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks and even though I'm from Melbourne I could not miss this opportunity to celebrate 25 years of performing at the New Year's Eve Capital of the World!"

Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP announced that Kylie Minogue has been appointed the City’s Creative Ambassador for the 2012 Sydney New Year’s Eve event.

 

*December Update*

Kylie Minogue is calling on Sydneysiders to use their mobile phones to get in on the action this New Year's Eve. The event's creative ambassador for 2012, has unveiled a plan for one million Sydneysiders to create an interactive colored light show. People who download a Telstra smartphone app can hold their phones up by the harbour side as the clock ticks closer to midnight on December 31st. The sea of phones will flash in sync, turning the foreshore magenta, yellow, purple and blue.

The Creative Concept for 2012 Sydney New Year's Eve: Embrace

"Embrace" reflects a positive attitude of openness and connection. It is about acceptance and tolerance, the past and the future, warmth and love. It is the bringing together of elements, where each is influenced by the other, yet all still retain their individuality and integrity.
In a city of great diversity, we come together at NYE to embrace the future in a unified celebration of all that we are and the potential that tomorrow holds for every one of us.

Whether it's embracing new ideas, change and opportunities or just giving a big hug to our family and friends, it's an inclusive theme that everyone can get involved in. From this overarching theme stems four subthemes, each representing a facet of the grander design. Locals and visitors to the city on New Year's Eve are encouraged to Embrace Love, Embrace the Moment, Embrace the Possibility and Embrace Sydney as part of their celebrations. These subthemes reflect the positive spirit of the New Year, the opportunities that the future holds for everyone, as well as the warmth and generosity of Sydney's people.
