The Australian singer, 50, will play two concerts at Hampton Court Palace Festival in June, before going on to perform at the closing night of the Nocturne Live concert series at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. The Hampton Court shows take place on June 20 and 21 and Minogue will be performing in Base Court, one of the Tudor courtyards in the palace. Stephen Flint Wood of IMG said: "Kylie will be making her debut at the festival and have no doubt her shows will be truly special with a star of her magnitude performing in the idyllic setting of Hampton Court Palace. "Further announcements of world-class musical talent will be announced in the coming weeks." The singer will then play at the closing night of Blenheim Palace's annual series of Nocturne Live summer concerts on June 23. The star will perform hits from her back catalogue, as well as music from her latest album, 2018's country-tinged Golden. Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been announced as the support act. "She's an incredible performer with an unbelievable back catalogue to draw upon and her live shows are always spectacular. "We're thrilled to have confirmed her for the closing night of next year's series and look forward to more exciting announcements over the coming months."

November 11, 20186 yr More great promo - things like this will keep sales of Golden and/or a new GH if we have one by then selling :dance:
November 12, 20186 yr Author That's already two big concerts near Glastonbury. I hope she rests her voice and doesn't get a throat infection . Don't do too much!!
November 12, 20186 yr From Instagram: Never imagined she'd come to Edinburgh. :o Will definitely try and go, whatever this ends up being.
November 12, 20186 yr She has added a few other dates in the summer too. Manchester, Edinburgh, Scarborough, & St. Austell Edited November 12, 20186 yr by Mullo
November 12, 20186 yr Author + Glastonbury weekend is free in her diary also ...... wink wink...... almost a certainty now i think
November 12, 20186 yr I've altered the title of the thread to accommodate for all the new dates. Separated from the Golden Tour thread as I feel these shows are going to be slightly different - they're billed as "Kylie Presents Golden" on her Facebook Events page but I think it'll be a slightly altered setlist, similar to her mini Summer 2015 tour.
November 12, 20186 yr Its the perfect time to release an updated and strong greatest hits as I think it could sell well for kylie plus it's an album that will continue selling.
November 12, 20186 yr Yes the rumours of a Greatest Hits album definitely seem to be coming together now that we've got these dates along with the pretty much all but confirmed Glasto Legends spot. I just hope it's a collection that will be appealing to the die hard fans too. Definitely think that doing something like a 1 disc, 2 disc and 3 disc version would be good. I'm so tempted to get tickets for Scarborough! I went to see Britney there with a friend in August; she wasn't like a proper fan of Britney but liked her and loved the concert, so I think she'd be up for this too, even though she's probably less familiar with Kylie than Britney.
November 12, 20186 yr A 1 CD best of would be hard to get right but could have good general appeal if the right tracks are selected. A 2cd set would cover alot for casual fans and 3 CD set for the diehards. If it went that way I'd like them all to have different cover sleeves too. Overall a double CD is probably the best way to go,possibly have a limited edition release,CD, cassette and vinyl.
November 12, 20186 yr Yeah I agree with the different album covers idea. The 1, 2, 3 disc idea came to me from David Bowie's Nothing Has Changed compilation and that used different artworks too. You can find the covers and the various tracking lists here - you'll see triple disc covers much more obscure Bowie songs and I think it would be great if we could have the lesser known Kylie songs in amongst the hits and classics.
November 12, 20186 yr Can’t believe she’s giving us a full summer tour! Will definitely be going to both Hampton Court shows - will be a great place to see her live! Interesting it’s just named ‘Kylie’.... definitely think this will be in support of a GH. And with all these shows and releases she’s seriously topping up her pension fund atm :kink:
November 13, 20186 yr I think kylie is going full guns this year and next with the intention of completely slowing down after. For a greatest hits CD a 2cd and a third disc of the best of b sides/ rarities would be brill in addition to the single CD release.
November 13, 20186 yr Author i just hope she doesnt do too much and gets a throat infection etc before Glastonbury etc!!!!
November 13, 20186 yr This most likely is one of her last chances to fulfill a dream of hers and and perform at Glastonbury so i am sure she will take all the steps she can to look after herself and be ready.
November 15, 20186 yr Lots of rumours that Kylie is the headline act for Brighton Pride 2019 (Britney done it last year) - Brighton Pride have said it’s all just rumours and an announcement will be made early next year.
