Kylie Minogue is gearing up for another homecoming tour. And this time, she's bringing Giorgio Moroder with her.
According to a statement from promoters Frontier Touring, Moroder will play a DJ set at each Kylie show next month. He'll line-up "select cuts from an impressive discography featuring some of the biggest names in music." The Italian disco great, who Kylie describes as a "perfect partner in crime," could choose to spin only his own tunes and still come up with a cracking show. The legendary producer and songwriter has worked with a galaxy of big stars, from Donna Summer to David Bowie, Blondie and Freddie Mercury and, of course, Kylie on "Right Here, Right Now," the lead single from Moroder's forthcoming studio album, his first in 30 years.

Moroder was thrust back into the spotlight with a starring role on Daft Punk's 2013 megahit album release Random Access Memories. He's recently done remixing work for Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Haim and his new album 74 is the New 24 will feature collaborations with Britney Spears, Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Foxes and others.
Kylie's Kiss Me Once tour will play arenas in the big five cities, beginning March 14 at Perth Arena and coming to a close March 21 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. It's been almost four years since the Australian pop legend's last national arena tour Down Under.
Also joining Kylie on the Kiss Me Once tour will be Betty Who, a Sydney-born singer/songwriter who has enjoyed support slots for Katy Perry and Kiesza.
