“The first Lush! Classical in 2016 was meant to be a one-off show to celebrate our 20th anniversary of Lush! Nightclub – a true institution in Northern Ireland. But it was so incredibly successful in every sense of the word that we just had to turn into an annual event that everybody loves!”
Lush! Classical is produced by Kylie Minogue’s musical director, Steve Anderson, with the pop superstar's full sound team in attendance. The musical scores will again be written by Cliff Masterson, composer, orchestrator, and string arranger who works with artists including Kylie Minogue, Westlife and Lionel Richie.

To witness over 10,000 people screaming, singing and dancing to the soundtrack of their lives was something very special.”
