Kylie Minogue is returning to Brazil to perform as part of the Earthshot Prize awards in November.

Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes are some of the global stars who will perform at Prince William’s Earthshot Prize ceremony in Brazil.

The Prince of Wales will be in Brazil for his awards show in Rio on November 5 and will stay on to join world leaders at the COP30 global climate change summit in Belem in the Amazon.

Minogue is among a host of stars who will take part in the awards. They also include Brazilian music icon and former minister of culture Gilberto Gil, who will perform with up-and-coming countrywoman Anitta, while Seu Jorge will also take to the stage.

“Brazil – I’m coming back! It’s a privilege and honour to be part of The Earthshot Prize in Rio – on stage with the people and the ideas that could save our planet,” Minogue said.

William founded the prize to recognise and scale up ideas to help “repair” the planet, with the five winning finalists each awarded £1 million ($A2.1 million) to further develop their ideas.

The Earthshot finalists for 2025 were announced several weeks ago.

Actor Matthew McConaughey has voiced an awards trailer called Meet the World’s True Action Heroes, featuring the 15 finalists and showcasing their solutions.

November’s ceremony will be hosted by Brazilian broadcaster Luciano Huck.

Among the presenters will be sports stars Marcos Evangelista de Morais, better known as Cafu, the former Brazilian soccer defender; Sebastian Vettel, a four-time formula 1 world champion; and Txai Surui, a leading voice for Brazil’s Indigenous communities and the environment.

“The real heroes today are the people out there doing the work, restoring forests, cleaning rivers, and caring for the places we call home,” singer-songwriter Jorge said.

“Their work reminds us that healing the Earth begins with small acts of courage, and I am proud to be part of the Earthshot Prize, celebrating that spirit and the people who refuse to give up on our planet.”
