Kylie Minogue rehearses eight-song grand final performance

Kylie Minogue rehearsed her 20-minute set of eight to nine hits for Saturday's AFL Grand Final pre-game show.

Kylie Minogue was spotted on Saturday running through her set at the MCG with about 100 dancers. She'll perform 20 minutes of eight to nine of her biggest hits before the first bounce this Saturday.

The stage has a rotating platform with silver and gold staging. There's also a cage attached to zip lines that Kylie will use during the show.

She's the headline act in an all-Australian lineup. It also includes ARIA winner G Flip and footy legend Mike Brady, who will perform Up There Cazaly.

Minogue breaks a run of four straight international performers at the grand final. Recent shows featured Snoop Dogg, KISS, Katy Perry and Robbie Williams.

As a Melburnian, Minogue said she's excited to return home for the biggest day in Australian sport.
