Kylie Minogue brought festive sparkle to London last night (13 November) as she officially switched on the Christmas lights at Battersea Power Station.

The pop princess illuminated a 40-foot Christmas tree in Malaysia Square and the Power Station’s four iconic chimneys, marking the start of the Yuletide season at the landmark.

Fans and visitors were treated to a performance from the Battersea Power Station Community Choir, who sang a medley of Kylie Christmas favourites including ‘Let It Snow’, ‘Santa Baby’ and ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’.

Kylie, herself, led the countdown before pressing the button to light up the tree and thousands of twinkling lights along Electric Boulevard, surprising the crowd and creating a festive spectacle visible across the riverside landmark.

The lights switch-on coincides with the launch of an exclusive Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) pop-up shop at Battersea Power Station, running from 5 – 7 December 2025.

Located on the Upper Ground Floor of the North Atrium, the pop-up will offer fans a range of limited-edition Christmas gifts including signed vinyl, test pressings, lithographs, festive baubles, a woolly hat and scarf, Kylie Minogue wine, a hot water bottle, the official 2026 calendar and other merchandise.

“It’s been such a magical night here at the iconic Battersea Power Station. I absolutely loved turning on the Christmas lights and seeing everyone getting into the festive spirit! I also had a sneak peek at the Kylie Christmas pop-up and I’m so excited for everyone to discover the treats we have in store to add to their celebrations,” Kylie said.

The album can be pre-ordered on CD, 7-inch gold vinyl, 12-inch Zoetrope vinyl and on streaming.
