Yesterday (3 June), on the last night of the new London festival All Points East, Kylie Minogue made a surprise appearance joining Nick Cave on stage to perform their 1995 hit Where the Wild Roses Grow.
It marks their first performance together since 2013, when Minogue joined Nick Cave during the encore of his set at London’s Koko Club. Their collaboration was first performed together at the Feile Festival in Cork in 1995.
All Points East debuted this year on 25 May to 3 June. Spread across 10 days, the extensive setup included a three-day music festival on 25-27 May followed by a community focused midweek entertainment programme and three standalone shows – one of which Nick Cave headlined.
Scroll down for fan footage and reactions of the show.

also: very keen on the person behind me who, when Nick Cave brought Kylie onstage (!), shouted ‘MUM AND DAD ARE BACK TOGETHER’

Fucking hell Nick Cave. Brought Kylie on stage with him at Victoria Park and she sang like I’ve never heard her sing, and that was just one tiny moment of this show. Fucking HELL.
