On February 19th, Kylie Minogue debuted her latest tour "Aphrodite LES FOLLIES" in Denmark ... and showed once again as to why she is this blogger's Pop Queen Of The Universe!!!

Keeping with her latest album release, APHRODITE, the stage and majority of the show was inspired by Greek Mythology (and what Greek inspiration is not complete with costume designs by DOLCE AND GABBANA *wink* ) as well as some minor flashbacks of her Showgirl tour from a few years back (as a major fan, i noticed immediately). Also, this was the first time concertgoers got to see/experience in the much hyped SPLASH ZONE, where not only the crowd was being drenched with Kylie's hits but also with water ... and LOTS of it!!!

Water being shot from the stage, amazing dancers, a group of aerialists, a beautiful stage ... all in all, the estimated $25 million production and 25 trucks it takes to transport it around seems to be money well spent!!

The 23 song set list is as follows for the tour (which is divided into 7 Acts):

1. Aphrodite
2. The One
3. Wow
4. Illusion
5. I Believe In You
6. Cupid Boy
7. Spinning Around
8. Get Outta My Way
9. What Do I Have To Do
10. Everything Is Beautiful
11. Slow
12. Confide In Me
13. Can't Get You Out Of My Head (rock Version)
14. In My Arms
15. Closer
16. Looking For An Angel
17. There Must Be An Angel
18. Love At First Sight/Can't Beat The Feeling
19. Better The Devil You Know
20. Put Your Hands Up
21. If You Don't Love Me
22. On A Night Like This
23. All The Lovers

One thing that many fans noticed after the setlist was finally announced is that BETTER THAN TODAY (Kylie's latest single from APHRODITE ) was not featured, even more suspicious as just 2 days before the tour started it had reached #2 on the Billboard Club/Dance Charts. Also, if you are planning on seeing her on the USA Leg of the tour, keep in mind that the Spash Zone effect will not be featured :(. Yes i know, but now you have all the more reason to reach out to her record label and DEMAND an Arena Tour during her next USA Visit.
