Tour: Kylie is set to return to the stage with a European tour next year

The tour is inspired by Minogue's new album, X, which is expected to reach number three in the charts this weekend, on its first week of release.

The singer said: "I am putting together a show that is going to be a new and exciting experience for both the audience and myself.

"The eclectic mix of sounds on X is affording me an opportunity to explore and develop a new live show that will be fresh, exhilarating and innovative.

Blonde ambition: the singer will perform on the back of her new album X

A statement on her website said: "Inspired by her new album X, Kylie and her creative team have devised a new show that she describes herself as 'fresh, exhilarating and innovative'.

"The new show will be a totally different concept to previous Minogue spectaculars, which have seen her fuse her remarkable creativity with groundbreaking technology to become one of the most respected live performers of our time."

Minogue cancelled her Showgirl tour when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.

She returned in 2006 with the Showgirl Homecoming Tour.
