Back in October Kylie Mingoue blessed her North American fans with the news that she would be bringing her new World Tour to Canada and the US this Spring. Today we learn which Canadian city (yes, just one) and which US cities (15) she will be visiting this April and March with her Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour.

International Pop Star Kylie Minogue has announced North American dates for her Aphrodite – Live 2011 Tour beginning April 28th in Montreal through May 22nd where Kylie will close the tour at the legendary Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, NV (full schedule below). The world tour starts February 19th in Denmark and will play in arenas throughout Europe & Japan before hitting Canada, U.S. and Mexico. The Aphrodite – Live 2011 tour promises to be an absolute landmark in the career of Kylie Minogue who is renowned for her groundbreaking live shows. Pre-sale tickets for the U.S. leg of the tour begin on January 14th for American Express card holders and Kylie’s fanbase with public on sale beginning January 22nd … After the run-away success of the last tour Kylie will be presenting the North American version of Aphrodite – Live 2011 in more intimate rooms in the States, where possible, including a much anticipated return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY and the Hollywood Bowl in LA. The North American dates are being presented by Logo TV and produced by Los Angeles-based concert promotion firm Bill Silva Presents, who also produced the 2009 North American tour.

And now for the bad news … as you may have noticed, the North American leg of Kylie‘s tour has been titled the Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour … which is different from the Les Folies Tour 2011. Essentially, we will be getting a smaller, pared down version of her tour. As you may remember, last Sunday we learned that Kylie‘s elaborate Les Folies Tour 2011 stage would feature a special stage with a VIP Splash Zone section for fans. All indications point to the sad fact that that stage will NOT come here to the US. As I understand it, Kylie promises that the Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour will be more intimate (due to venue size) and different & special in its own way (presumably with a different setlist, stage props, etc.). As excited as I am that Kylie is touring the US again (visiting many more US cities than she did on her last tour), I’m really bummed that we will not be getting the massive stage set-up that the rest of the world is getting. Thankfully, David and I will be traveling in Europe in March and we will get to see Kylie‘s Les Folies Tour 2011. Additionally, we plan to attend a couple of her US dates here in the Spring. It’ll be great to welcome Kylie back, tho, no question … especially when you consider that we North American fans will get to see Kylie up close and very personal in small venues that her international fans can only dream of ;)
