Kylie Minogue concert chronology

KylieX2008 was the tenth concert tour by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, in support of her tenth studio album, X (2007). The tour began on 6 May 2008 in Paris, France, at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy and concluded on 22 December 2008 in Melbourne, Australia, at the Rod Laver Arena. Consisting of five legs, totaling 53 shows, the tour was Minogue's most ambitious up-until that point in her career, stopping in over 40 countries and territories—24 in Europe, 6 in South America, 7 in Asia, and 8 cities across Australia and New Zealand. Much to the delight of her international fans, Minogue had scheduled concerts in a wide variety of locations for the first time in her career, such as Argentina, Beijing, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Dubai, Finland, Greece, Hong Kong, Latvia, Norway, Shanghai, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela.

Upon the announcement of the For You, for Me Tour the following year, both Billboard and Pollstar confirmed that KylieX2008 generated an estimated US$70m in ticket sales.[2][3][4]
