Kylie to the Max

May 28 is Kylie’s 40th birthday and music network MAX are celebrating with a Minogue marathon, and a contest offering two tickets to meet her backstage in Germany.

On May 28 MAX has a countdown of the diva’s greatest hits from 10am to 5pm.

Then on Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1 there is back to back Kylie from 12 – 4pm including Max Masters: Kylie Minogue, Feel the Fever documentary, plus both the Homecoming and Showgirl concerts.

Press Release:

Kylie Minogue is turning 40 and MAX is giving our home grown Queen of Pop – as well all her fans across Australia – the biggest birthday party imaginable.

To mark this momentous occasion, MAX has organised Kylie-a-thons galore, as well as what we humbly believe to be the greatest music competition ever to be staged in the history of Australian music television.

Grab on to something, Kylie fans, because MAX will be sending one lucky fan and their best friend to Germany to wish our Kylie happy birthday… IN PERSON… Backstage at her concert in Munich – OMG!

Yes, that’s right. MAX, in direct collaboration with Kylie’s people, has organised to send a Kylie fan and their best friend to Germany to present our Kylie with a birthday cake and card from MAX and all her fans in Australia. This is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime experience, flying to the other side of the world to share in such a milestone in the life and career of Australia’s most successful and enduring pop icon.

Kylie’s 40th birthday takes place on May 28. On that day, MAX may as well change its name to KYLIE because it’s back-to-back Kylie from 10AM to 5PM with HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE – the definitive countdown of all of Kylie’s greatest hits.

The following day in Germany, our lucky winners, chaperoned by MAX’s very own Yumi Stynes, will be attending Kylie’s birthday concert and meeting the star backstage, personally handing over a birthday cake and all the birthday messages from fans back here at home, collected via MAX.

But there’s more. The following weekend on MAX it’s CELEBRATE KYLIE WEEKEND. On Saturday and Sunday, between 12PM and 4PM, it’s more back-to-back Kylie, featuring the very best of Kylie countdowns; the exclusive MAX Masters: Kylie Minogue; Feel The Fever documentary; and the Subscription TV Premiere of both Kylie’s Homecoming and Showgirl concerts.

In the lead-up to Kylie’s birthday week, MAX is encouraging all its viewers and Kylie fans across Australia to go to our website at www.maxtv.com.au and write their birthday well wishes to Kylie. Everyone will be asked to leave their details because one well-wisher will be randomly chosen to pack their bags and head to Germany to meet Kylie.

MAX’s meet Kylie competition opens April 10 at www.maxtv.com.au and closes Sunday, 11 May.

The incredible prize package includes: Two return economy airfares from winner’s nearest capital city to Munich; five nights accommodation in Munich including breakfast; Airport transfers; Two tickets to Kylie’s concert in Munich on 29 May, 2008; $AU1000 spending money; and most importantly, the task of delivering a birthday cake and card to Kylie backstage.

At MAX, we can’t believe our little Kylie is turning 40, but we intend to make it a celebration that Kylie and all her fans will ever forget. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLIE!!!!
