Troye Sivan gave fans everything they wanted—and then some—during his headlining performance at Primavera Sound 2025 in Barcelona, delivering a steamy on-stage moment that’s already gone viral for all the right reasons.
The Australian pop star, who turned 30 on the day of the show, took the stage as part of his much-hyped reunion with Charli XCX for their revived SWEAT tour.
But while the entire set was a high-octane celebration of queer pop power, one moment stole the show—and the internet’s attention.
During his performance of the euphoric, sweat-drenched single “Rush,” Troye locked lips with one of his shirtless backup dancers in a passionate makeout session that sent fans into a full-blown frenzy.

The kiss, delivered with full commitment and cinematic flair, happened as the camera circled around them, giving everyone in the audience—and watching online—a perfect view of the steamy scene.
The reaction was instant and explosive. Fans took to social media to thirst, swoon, and fantasize. “Imagine being hired to make out with Troye Sivan,” one fan tweeted. “Lemme fill out that job application.” Another wrote, “This is how I perform Rush at gay bars. We’re so twin.”
It’s far from the first time Troye has pushed boundaries on stage. In 2024, during his Something to Give Each Other tour, he went viral for simulating oral sex during one number and for singing into a microphone held at a dancer’s crotch during “Got Me Started.”
He also recreated viral choreography from “One of Your Girls” with Ross Lynch and Vinnie Hacker at previous shows, cementing his place as one of pop music’s most unapologetically queer performers.
At Primavera, the kiss was just the cherry on top of a dazzling set that included hits from both his own album Something to Give Each Other and Charli XCX’s Brat.
The duo performed over 30 songs in total, including “1999” and “Rush,” alternating solos and joining forces for crowd-pleasing bangers.
For Troye, the moment was both personal and celebratory—a bold way to mark his milestone birthday while embracing his identity in front of tens of thousands.
As social media continues to buzz with clips and memes from the kiss, one thing’s for sure: Troye didn’t just turn 30—he turned up the heat.
Fans can relive the full performance through live streams available on Prime Video and Twitch, courtesy of Amazon Music, and let’s be honest—we’ll all be replaying that kiss for weeks.
