It’s not quite the world tour that was rumoured a few months ago, but Kylie Minogue is hitting the road again. Our own pop diva will tour throughout Europe in 2008.
Kylie’s renowned for her spectacular stage shows, and her new concerts promoting her tenth album X promise to be no different.
“I am putting together a show that is going to be a new and exciting experience for both the audience and myself,” Kylie said in a press release.
“The eclectic mix of sounds on X is affording me an opportunity to explore and develop a new live show that will be fresh, exhilarating and innovative. After two celebratory tours, X will be a look to the future but will definitely include favourites alongside the new. I can’t wait to share it with you next year!”
It’s just a rumour at this point, but a gap in the touring schedule has left fans wondering whether Kylie will headline next year’s Glastonbury festival. She’ll play Belfast on June 27, but doesn’t have another show until her Glasgow gig on July 5. The Glastonbury festival is slated for the weekend of June 27-29.
Kylie was scheduled to play the massive festival in 2005, but had to pull out due to her cancer diagnosis. Festival organiser Michael Eavis has left no doubt that he’d love to see the pop princess perform.
“Kylie sums up everything Glastonbury is about,” he told The Daily Star. “She’s glam and theatrical. I see dancers, lights, feathers – almost like a circus show.
“She seduced me with her Showgirl tour and I’d love to see her do that on the last night.”
Kylie’s European tour kicks off in Paris on May 6, 2008. UK tickets go on sale from www.kylie.com on Monday.
