Biography
Kylie Minogue first achieved fame in her role in the television soap opera, "Neighbours." She began her musical career in 1987, signing a contract with British songwriting trio Stock Aitken Waterman, after her first single "The Loco-Motion" was hugely successful, becoming the highest-selling single of the decade in Australia. "I Should Be So Lucky" was Kylie's breakout hit in 1988 and remains a pop classic.
In 1992 she left Stock Aitken Waterman, choosing to go it alone and establish herself as a performer in her own right. In 1994 she collaborated with Nick Cave on the song "Where the Wild Roses Grow" which garnered artistic credibility for Kylie, as she moved away from her image as the "girl next door" pop star. In 2000 she returned to success with the singles "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" which reached number one in over 40 countries. Through her album "Fever" (2001) she broke into the American market, which had before alluded her. This release led to achieving four ARIA airways as well as two Brit Awards for Best International Female Solo Artist and Best International Album.
Throughout her career, Kylie Minogue has developed and evolved her music to a more mature, dance orientated sound incorporating electronica, disco and R & B influences. Whilst attempting to establish herself as a more serious artist, she has always maintained a sense of joy and fun within her music, which has helped her become such a treasured star in Australia and her adopted home in the UK.
In the middle of a tour in 2005, Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer, which forced her to cancel the tour. Thankfully, she successfully combatted the disease, allowing her to continue producing brilliant music. Following her illness, Minogue became an important figure in raising awareness and support of health research as well as humanitarian issues around the world. Her contributions were acknowledged through an honorary doctorate degree from Anglia Ruskin University as well as being appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
Kylie Minogue has featured as a judge on BBC One's talent competition, "The Voice" for the first season and the third season of Australia's version of the show. She also released her 12th studio album in March 2014, titled "Kiss Me Once" which reached number one in the Australian charts and number two in the UK.
Live reviews
Kylie puts on a proper pop show and gives you your money's worth. The sets (giant skulls! Pegasus!), the lights, the videos, the dancers, the costumes, and, of course, THE SHOES (thigh high cut-out Louboutins!) are all fabulous. In fact, Kylie’s shows are often like a mini version of Cirque du Soleil, with many of her dancers doubling as aerialists, and sets that would put most Broadway musicals to shame.
Ms. Minogue’s set lists are always impeccably balanced between the new material that is the reason for the tour, more recent hits, and timeless classics from back in the day. She often mixes things up with new song arrangements and medleys. And there is no doubt that Kylie is up there giving each song her all; no 'miming' here.
Kylie is the consummate showgirl, and (as one of my fellow Kylie fans put it so succinctly) she is always about love and connecting with her audience. It’s all about having a good time no matter your age, orientation, or other demographic info. The audiences/fans at Kylie shows are always a friendly bunch, and the atmosphere is nothing short of festive. Even if you attend a show solo, you certainly won’t feel alone.
I am Mario from Hamburg Germany. I went with my old friend Nico to see Kylie Minogue live! It was an amazing experience which I will cherish forever!
We were in the Golden Circle front row to the stage catwalk and had the chance to see Kylie just 1 ft away!!! She blew us and the whole audience away. She is a true professional and also natural pure live performer. From very close view you would never think this woman is 50 years old. Her look is stunning and her voice was amazing powerful and strong and her dance routines magnificent! She sang 60% of songs from her current album Golden and mixed it up great with her old hits back from the beginning to her big greatest hits for which we all love her! I will also attend her German shows in November in Munich, Berlin and my hometown Hamburg and I can’t wait to see her live again!
She brings so much joy fun and emotion to the stage and I always have a big smile on my face. She is the one and only true most wonderful and beautiful pop princess on earth! We’re not young, we’re not old we are GOLDEN! Love you Kylie always and forever! Your German Fan Mario xxx

Kylie Minogue is Australia's original diva. She has been a frequenter of the charts since her runaway singles 'Locomotion/The Loco-Motion' and 'I Should Be So Lucky' topped charts around the world in 1987 and won her an instant following. She is considered to be one of the most likeable live personalities with an incredible sense of humour, quick wit and ability to build connection with entire arenas.
A definitive pop star who has an impossible amount of hits has crafted one of the most fast paced and visually engaging live tours for latest album 'Kiss Me Once'. The selection of complex dance routines, lavish stage props and a near unnecessary level of costume changes is like a masterclass of what makes a world class diva.
The music selection is flawless with 'Into Your Arms', 'On a Night Like This', 'Wow' and 'Get Outta My Way' all being performed tonight. It is the encore of 'Into The Blue' where Kylie really showcases her vocal and demonstrates her heightened understanding of the pop genre which means she remains relevant nearly three decades after her first release.

I am due to go to my 8th Kylie Concert in May next year in SHEFFIELD. I have seen her in BIRMINGHAM, LONDON, MANCHESTER and GLASGOW before. Why do I go? Because she just puts on a brilliant show, it's not just a concert, it is a extravaganza full of energy and sets that leave you bewildered. She clearly loves her audience and it really shows. Kylie always wants to put on her best for her concerts and her fans. Even if you don't like all her songs, the magic of a Kylie Concert will leave you in disbelief for many many years. Her crew are really fantastic in what they do. I'm counting down the days again because I haven't seen her for nearly 14 years! 249 Days To Go.

I have been a big fan of Kylie for many years now and have seen most of her concerts but the Golden Tour is by far her best. She sang songs from her new album and songs from the past but her studio 54 medley was out of this world. Absolutely fantastic.The venue in Frankfurt was small and gave a great personal experience. Kylie is truly a great artist and is always worth seeing in concert
What can I say??
Kylie never disappoints!
The new direction suits her voice. The songs are amazing... from beautiful ballads to downright country square dancing realness. And performed some beautiful songs from her back catalogue
She is amazing Live.. what a voice.
Let's hope this new era will be Golden indeed. She sure as hell deserves it
