KYLIE – SHOWGIRL - THE GREATEST HITS TOUR

BIGGEST EVER TOUR ANNOUNCED TO FOLLOW HER GREATEST HITS DOUBLE CD 'ULTIMATE KYLIE'



Go to www.kylie.com at 8am BST on Monday 17th October 2004 for a Kylie.com exclusive opportunity!

Kylie will play her biggest ever tour next year to follow the release of her first comprehensive greatest hits package “Ultimate Kylie”, which is released this year on Nov 22.

The European leg of the tour, entitled 'Kylie – Showgirl; the Greatest Hits tour' will open in Scotland in March, will then move to continental Europe, and return to the UK in April, ending in London at Earls Court in May.

TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE ON MONDAY OCT 18TH.

Kylie is currently in pre-production meetings for the tour, which will be her most ambitious yet. Renowned for staging shows which combine state of the art technology with highly innovative sets, choreography and costumes, she famously commented at the end of her groundbreaking Fever 2002 tour that she had already been thinking of new presentation ideas for a future tour. This is where those ideas will be realised.

Fever 2002 cost 4 million pounds to stage and saw Kylie break records across the world. In the UK she played four sold out nights at Wembley Arena, and could have played more. In Manchester she broke the record for the most dates played by a solo artist at the Evening News Arena, performing to over 85,000 people. In Newcastle, the Arena announced that Kylie’s show had been the quickest to sell out in the history of the venue. In total, Kylie played to over a quarter of a million people in the UK.

Reviewers were just as enthusiastic as fans:
'The Fever tour is a High Art/Pop Art collision, a Stanley Kubrick meets Baz Luhrmann extravaganza' - Independent on Sunday

'What followed was a near-perfect presentation of Kylie:The Re-Genesis…songs such as 'Spinning Around', 'Fever' and 'Confide In Me' passed in a blur of hi-NRG disco, pure pop and electro experimentation' - The Observer

'Seven stage sets, dozens of dancers, a dazzling array of costumes and choreography by Ballet Rambert's Rafael Bonachela combined to make the two hour concert a truly spectacular event' - The Times

Kylie is now revisiting her back catalogue, spanning the last 17 years, and creating a running order for the show which, as usual, will feature a host of musical and visual surprises. Most of all though, this will be a celebratory, hits-based show featuring what is, by common consent, some of the best pop music created over the last three decades.

Kylie said; "I’m so excited to tour again. It really is the most amazing, challenging and rewarding part of my career, and to have the greatest hits to celebrate is going to make it so much fun. It's the ultimate place to connect with my fans: to share two hours of music and memories! This will be the culmination of everything I've done so far, with quite a few surprises!"

More details will follow on the creative elements of the show but, already, it looks like Kylie will be putting all her own staging into the venues and some venues have had to be re-configured to accommodate the show. Designers for Kylie's stage wardrobe and those of her dancers will all be announced in due course.

Tickets are £37.50 for all dates.
£32.50 tickets will also be available for the Earls Court show.
They are limited to 6 per person.
