Following the announcement, Minogue, Reece and the official Sydney Mardi Gras profiles launched a mysterious online campaign on social media featuring the #pressplay hashtag. Finally, at the end of February, Sydney Mardi Gras shared a YouTube link to a video called #pressplay, featuring the Extended Mix of "Summer of Love".[2]
