The Goddess has risen!! Kylie Minogue kicked off her new Les Folies Tour 2011 in Herning, Denmark last night and, by all accounts (at least, by the accounts that I’ll let myself get a peek at), the show is a SMASH extravaganza of fabulosity! Because I’ll be seeing the show live in person myself, I’ve been **trying** to stay away from tour spoilers … but because I am a weak, weak person … I did allow myself to see some of the images and video that have come from last night’s opening night performance. So, if you dare, you can see below some of what Kylie has in store for this new tour.

Before the show got underway last night, Kylie recorded a cute video message to fans which she posted on her official website:

And then the show got underway. Here is a short article on the opening night show (that doesn’t contain too many spoilers) as well as some photos from the opening number, Aphrodite:


Riding on the back of winged horse Pegasus, Kylie Minogue kicked off her Aphrodite Les Folies world tour in Denmark last night. Looking like a goddess of love – in tune with her song Aphrodite – she ensured the show, in front of a capacity crowd at the Herning Arena, went off with a bang. The pop princess has gone all out to outdo previous tours, spending ­£5million alone on the stage which features super-powered water jets. Kylie, 42, starts in Europe before covering Asia and North America and ending Phase One in Las Vegas on May 22. It’s expected she’ll then carry on with dates across her native Australia before a final swoop of the UK. Last night Kylie said: “I’m ­overwhelmed with the love and talent that is going into this tour and I can’t wait for fans to be a part of it.” 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!

Hahaha … yeah, this snippet of info is very light on the deets and offers no more info than we already know. Kylie did upload a video collage to her official site that shows parts of the various performance numbers from the show. THIS video contains spoilery info that you should not see if you want to remain completely surprised about the show:

The tour merchandise is already available for sale online HERE. In addition to a fun array of t-shirts, tote bags, stickers, etc, the tourbook is being offered in paperback version (for £15.00) and hardback version (for £30.00). Kylie NEVER disappoints when it comes to live concert performances and tour merchandise. I am DYING so hard right now!! I can’t even tell you how anxious I am to see Kylie in Berlin on March 1. I swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that I will refrain from seeing any other spoilery info. Unless it’s official footage released by Kylie, I’m going to stay away … and even if she starts releasing more footage from the show … I’m going to stay away. I only have 9 days ’til my show … I can wait … I think. As for this stuff presented here, what do y’all think? Are YOU seeing this Les Folies Tour 2011 in Europe? Are you as excited as I am?
