And now on to the encore! More after the jump
As with every Kylie tour, the encore is always a little bit special and this tour takes the biscuit. Rumours of a "four dimensional" stage and a splash zone set Kylie forms alight when they were first announced at the end of last summer. "What does it mean?" "What will it do?" "How will it work?". Whoever created the splash zone idea deserves a knighthood for services to being a genius (I know, not a real thing).
The act opens with swimsuit Kylie appearing on stage (complete with shower cap) and breaking into a rendition of On A Night Like This. All the while, the splash zone is springing into life - the back of the stage now has fountains either side of the stairs, the walkways now have water jets shooting from them and the aerial acrobats are now in swimsuits and are hanging from ropes and spinning water everywhere. Like I said, GENIUS!
As Kylie comes to the end of OANLT, she proceeds down the walkway to the end of the stage and takes her position for the last song of the show...
All The Lovers is a dream finale to the show. Starting slowly with dancers caressing each other and the end of the stage rising into the "cake", it looks as though the crew have been transformed into a giant fountain. It's not until after the middle 8 that the real water works get going!!
To show you exactly what happens for this song, I've linked to two videos - one up close so you can see Kylie and one from the upper seating area so you can see the whole stage.
And that's it! It was honestly the quickest two hours of my life but I wouldn't have sold my tickets for all the tea in china. Kylie knows her fans and she knows exactly what to give them!
Miss Minogue, your a legend!
