Pop sensation Kylie Minogue<\/a> will be leading the celebrity line-up at Prince William<\/a>‘s Earthshot Prize ceremony in Brazil next month. The Prince of Wales is travelling to the South American country for his awards show in Rio in November<\/a> and will stay on to join world leaders at the COP30 global climate change summit<\/a> in Belem in the Amazon.<\/p>\n

Ms Minogue is among a host of stars taking part in the awards, including Brazilian music icon and former Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, who will perform with up-and-coming country woman Anitta and Seu Jorge will also take to the stage. She said: “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.”<\/p>\n

When the Earthshot finalists for 2025 were announced a few weeks ago, William said the “urgent optimism” at the heart of his environmental project feels “unstoppable”.<\/p>\n

He founded the prize to recognise and scale up ideas to help “repair” the planet, with the five winning finalists each awarded \u00a31 million to further develop their ideas.<\/p>\n

Other artists include Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and musician Shawn Mendes, who last performed in Brazil in March 2025.<\/p>\n

Hollywood<\/a> actor Matthew McConaughey has voiced an awards trailer called Meet the World’s True Action Heroes, featuring the 15 finalists and showcasing their solutions.<\/p>\n

The awards show on November 5 will be hosted by Brazilian broadcaster Luciano Huck, and among the award presenters will be sports stars Marcos Evangelista de Morais, better known as Cafu, the former Brazilian defender; Sebastian Vettel, a four-time Formula One world champion; and Txai Surui, a leading voice for Brazil’s Indigenous communities and the environment.<\/p>\n

Singer-songwriter Seu Jorge said: “The real heroes today are the people out there doing the work, restoring forests, cleaning rivers, and caring for the places we call home.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Jason Knauf, CEO of The Earthshot Prize, said: “With two weeks to go we are thrilled to announce the support of global artists, performers, and exceptional Brazilian talent, joining us in Rio. We will welcome to Brazil a host of global leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and young people from around the world, who share our ambition and optimism, and we can\u2019t wait to reveal our Winners on 5 November in what is set to be the greatest Earthshot yet”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pop sensation Kylie Minogue will be leading the celebrity line-up at Prince William‘s Earthshot Prize ceremony in Brazil…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[70311,70310,156,38157,111,139,69,4289,70308,70306,70307,48172,48173,61442,9855,70309],"class_list":["post-94752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-earthshot-celebrities","tag-earthshot-lineup","tag-entertainment","tag-kylie-minogue","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prince-william","tag-prince-william-brazil","tag-prince-william-earthshot","tag-prince-william-kylie-minoque","tag-prince-william-latest","tag-prince-william-latest-news","tag-prince-william-news","tag-royal","tag-shawn-mendes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
