A NEW EXCLUSIVE DIGITAL EP NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BONUS EDITION WILL RELEASE ON MAY 3rd
“PUT YOUR HANDS UP”REMIX EP TO BE RELEASED ON MAY 31st
International Pop superstar Kylie Minogue will kick off the opening night of the North American Aphrodite – Live 2011 leg of her world tour tonight in Montreal before hitting the U.S. on Friday at Boston’s Agganis Arena. This is Kylie’s most extensive North American outing to date as the pop goddess will play 16 shows including a 3-night stint at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom, a return to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and will close at the legendary Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas before heading to Australia and South Africa (full schedule below). Kylie played shows in Japan this past week after wrapping the European Aphrodite – Les Folies arena leg of the tour which began in February and was described as “…what might just be the most meticulously designed arena show ever” and “one hell of a production and a thoroughly sophisticated one at that” by The Evening Herald in Ireland and UK’s Daily Star said that Kylie “set a new benchmark for arena shows…and redefined the term ‘spectacular’ along the way.”
To celebrate the tour, Astralwerks Records will release a new exclusive digital EP North American Tour Bonus Edition on May 3rd. The EP consists of 5 live recordings, three from a semi-acoustic BBC Live Lounge session – “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head,” “All The Lovers” and “Get Outta My Way”, and two recorded live in New York in October 2009 during Kylie’s first North American Tour – “Better Than Today” and “Confide In Me”. The EP also includes a short film featuring behind the scenes footage of Kylie on tour.
In addition a new remix EP for the song “Put Your Hands Up” will be released on May 31st which will include the album track with brand new remixes. Kylie sent the following message: “Thank you all for making Aphrodite Les Folies’ such an amazing experience for me. Those of you who've been to a show will know that ‘Put Your Hands Up’ goes OFF! So as a tour thank you I wanted to share this 80′s-tastic remix by the legendary Pete Hammond. Enjoy!!” View lyric video HERE
In the fall of 2009 Kylie stormed America to sell out her first ever North American tour. The tour kicked off in Oakland and on to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York, wowing fans and critics alike at each stop. Entertainment Weekly called the show a “two-hour post-disco fantasia of strobe, bass, and glitter—an all-out spectacle.” The New York Times claimed “The concert (was) efficient, clobbering, expensive, generous…close to an alternate reality”; and the 2011 show promises to be bigger and better in every way!
Kylie’s eleventh album Aphrodite was released in July and debuted at #19 in the U.S., marking her highest U.S. chart position since 2002’s Fever. Aphrodite became Kylie’s fifth #1 album in the UK, hitting the top spot a full 22 years to the week since her debut album Kylie entered the chart.

Around the globe Aphrodite debuted in the top 10 in thirteen different countries.
