For years Kylie has set the standard for pop concerts everywhere. NME said of her 2002 KylieFever tour, “One day all concerts will be like this: phenomenally staged, flawlessly performed.” In 2006 the Daily Telegraph wrote of Showgirl Homecoming “…a new benchmark for the pop concert. Simply, Minogue is the best act in town,” and in 2008 The Independent on Sunday wrote of KylieX “Kylie is actually a pop genius.”
Now Kylie has set the live touring bar so high other performers are at risk of altitude sickness, with reviewers declaring Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour 2011 Kylie’s most spectacular tour ever.
“The…pop princess set a new benchmark for arena shows with Les Folies and redefined the term 'spectacular' along the way. Don't miss it!!”
DAILY STAR – Monday 21st February 2011 – U.K.
“Riding on the back of winged horse Pegasus… Looking like a goddess of love – in tune with her song Aphrodite – she ensured the show, in front of a capacity crowd…went off with a bang... Nobody was left disappointed – the set list featured both songs from the new album and classics like Can’t Get You Out of My Head. Vive La Kylie!”
MIRROR – Wednesday 23rd February 2011 – U.K.
“Kylie’s latest extravaganza is a 130-minute mind-boggling trip through Greek mythology featuring winged horses, troupes of acrobats, synchronized swimming and gallons of water that even shoot over fans in a special interactive “splash zone”… She’s the goddess of love and all the sets and costumes stem from the title…Despite all the special effects, Les Folies remains a good old- fashioned rock ’n’ roll show.”
DAILY STAR – Wednesday 23rd February 2011 – U.K.
“Kylie Minogue presented her biggest, and, if the audience’s comments are anything to go by, best show ever! Over 10,000 elated Kylie fans raised the roof with a standing ovation at the end of Kylie’s two hour pop spectacular…When Kylie first appeared on stage in a giant golden clam shell, which appropriately floated up from the depths, the crowd were spellbound, entranced, taken into another world. .. her voice was in fine form, reaching impossible heights effortlessly.”
MOG MUSIC NETWORK – Monday 21st February 2011 – U.S.A.
With a production valued at over US$25 million, Kylie’s Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour 2011 features over a million moving parts, including 30 high impact water jets, rain curtains and fountains! The bespoke stage, alone costing over $10 million, is the most technically advanced, complex and precision stage ever created for an arena and was built by Tait Towers, the largest staging company in the world, responsible for building stages for the Rolling Stones, U2, Madonna, and many more.
The water elements in the show have been designed by the same team who engineered the famous water fountain show at Bellagio in Las Vegas, and the spectacular “World of Colour” show at Disneyland in California. Leading technology ensures that all water used in the show is recycled throughout the performance, with a rapid filtration system cycling the water through the massive stage. Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour will feature a totally unique “SPLASH ZONE” within the stage itself, where fans can be the centre of the action in an amazing 4D experience.
“SPLASH ZONE” tickets will include a concert backpack containing uniquely branded official souvenir merchandise including an exclusive personally signed photo from Kylie, a waterproof ‘I was In The Splash Zone’ souvenir towel, official tour programme, exclusive tour laminate and lanyard and special Splash Zone wristband permitting access to the exclusive viewing area. Please note Splash Zone tickets are only available to those 16 years and over and a maximum limit of 4 tickets per person per show will apply.
Kylie is joined on stage by a huge cast of dancers and aerial performers chosen from the best in the world along with her live band ensuring Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour 2011 is a constant visual feast for both the eyes and ears.
Also accompanying Kylie on her national tour will be fellow Melbournians Gypsy & The Cat, who have started off the year being nominated as “A Band You Need To Hear” by NME, selling out shows and watching their album Gilgamesh hit #2 on the iTunes Album Chart.
Their bright electro music, previously described by The Age as “the best thing to never come out of the ‘80s”, is sure to have audiences on their feet when Gypsy & The Cat warm the stage at all shows on Kylie’s Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour 2011.
Set to become a landmark moment in concert touring with its spectacular production, Aphrodite-Les Folies Tour 2011 is a tour that no music fan should miss.
