Kylie played Bournemouth on the 22nd September to a full BIC. The main floor was set out with no seating making one giant dance floor, with the stage extending in to the middle with a gold circle (to match her latest album, Golden) surrounding for serious fans.

The capacity crowd lapped up Golden’s title track, then her dancers gave Get Outta My Way and Better The Devil You Know a country feel - foot stompin’ fun.

She wore a white trouser suit for Confide In Me, the song which always shows off her ability to hit the high notes like no other. Packed with hits, the first half was completed by Wow and Can't Get You Out of My Head.

After a 20 minute interval, Kylie came back to the stage as a leather-clad biker with a mash up of Slow and The Human League’s Being Boiled.

Kids proved a crowd pleaser and suited the leather look, however unwelcome at the party were The Loco-motion and Especially For You, too cheesy by far. Everyone was pleased that I Should Be So Lucky stayed away. Confetti cannons were on standby for a number of highlights including a shower of rainbow colours in All The Lovers and we were mesmerized by a laser light show during Lost Without You.

The just over 2 hour show ended back in America’s Deep South, with some well choreographed barn dancing to accompany Dancing, her lead single off Golden. Other new tracks from Golden went down brilliantly with the crowd, particularly Stop Me from Falling and A Lifetime to Repair.

Kylie made a note of her love of the classic American muscle car Shelby 68, and aged 50, both her and the wheels are looking fantastic and while Golden, Kylie is certainly not a golden oldie.

It’s almost two decades since Kylie was last in Bournemouth and we hope to see her again soon.
