Kylie's 'Aphrodite Live' Reaches North America Tomorrow!

(New York, NY – April 27, 2011) – International Pop superstar Kylie Minogue will kick off the opening night of the North American Aphrodite – Live 2011 leg of her world tour tomorrow night in Montreal before hitting the U.S. on Friday night at Boston’s Agganis Arena. This is Kylie’s most extensive North American outing to date as the pop goddess will play 16 shows including a 3-night stint at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom, a return to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and will close at the legendary Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas before heading to Australia and South Africa (full schedule below). Kylie played shows in Japan this past week after wrapping the European Aphrodite – Les Folies arena leg of the tour which began in February and was described as “…what might just be the most meticulously designed arena show ever” and “one hell of a production and a thoroughly sophisticated one at that” by The Evening Herald in Ireland and UK’s Daily Star said that Kylie “set a new benchmark for arena shows…and redefined the term 'spectacular' along the way.”



In the fall of 2009 Kylie stormed America to sell out her first ever North American tour. The 6-city tour kicked off in Oakland and made stops in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York, wowing fans and critics alike at each stop. Entertainment Weekly called the show a “two-hour post-disco fantasia of strobe, bass, and glitter—an all-out spectacle.” The New York Times claimed “The concert (was) efficient, clobbering, expensive, generous…close to an alternate reality”; high praise indeed and the 2011 show promises to be bigger and better in every way!

Kylie’s eleventh album Aphrodite was released in July and debuted at #19 in the U.S., marking her highest U.S. chart position since 2002’s Fever. Aphrodite became Kylie’s fifth #1 album in the UK, hitting the top spot a full 22 years to the week since her debut album Kylie entered the chart. The album also made Kylie the first solo artist in the history of the UK charts to have a #1 album in four different decades. Around the globe Aphrodite debuted in the top 10 in thirteen different countries.

Aphrodite has scored three consecutive #1 songs on the Billboard Club Chart with “All The Lovers,” “Get Outta My Way” and “Better Than Today.” Kylie also became the first artist in the nearly 35-year history of the chart to claim two out of the top three songs on the chart when “Better Than Today” held the top spot and Taio Cruz’s “Higher” featuring Travie McCoy and Kylie ranked #3. “Better Than Today” is Kylie’s 6th career #1 on the chart.

Over the course of her extraordinary 20-plus-year-career, Kylie Minogue has been a global force in pop music and is one of the world’s most successful female artists with more than 60 million albums sold worldwide, over 50 hit singles including the dance-chart-toppers “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” “Love At First Sight,” “Slow,” and the Grammy-Award winning “Come Into My World.” She has received countless awards and accolades including an OBE from the Queen, 8 sold-out world tours including the KylieX2008 tour which traveled to 21 countries throughout Europe, South America, Dubai, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Minogue has released eleven studio albums, three live CDs, eight live concert DVD’s, plus her Greatest Hits, Ultimate Kylie double album and Boombox The Remix Album 2000-2008.
