One of the world's most adored gay icons will perform in New Zealand this December for the first time ever. Our disco needs her: Kylie's concert is set to wow Kiwi audiences Pop Princess Kylie Minogue says she can't wait to bring her X2008 tour to Downtown Auckland's 12,000 seat Vector Arena on Monday 8 December. "I'm so excited to finally be able to bring my show to New Zealand. This will be my second visit but my first concert performance and I can't wait to see you all there." A Kiwi audience will experience what the Manchester Evening News hailed as Kylie's "most flamboyant show yet". Her X2008 tour is an enormous NZ$24m production that has already traveled to 21 countries across Europe. More than half a million people have seen the two and a half-hour show, which features the petite star in eight costume changes designed by extravagant French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. "The choreography was exceptional," raved the Scotland Herald's Kylie X review in July. "The level of skill as the male acrobats defied gravity was astounding. She delighted the besotted crowd. It was a spectacular performance in which Kylie truly had the X factor and Wow Wow Wowed." After playing the Vector Arena, Minogue will take her show to Sydney and Melbourne. Tickets for her Auckland concert go on sale at 9am on Tuesday 9 September, from Ticketmaster. Minogue performs her hit single In My Arms – filmed when her X2008 tour visited London's O2 Arena last month – in the clip below.
