Kylie Minogue has been dazzling audiences for more than 20 years and now, on the comeback from a life-threatening illness, she is sweeping all before her on a world tour set to hit Shanghai.

Kylie Minogue has survived cancer, been honored by the Queen of England, starred in Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies, achieved a string of hits and sold more than 60 million records worldwide over the past two decades.

And now the Australian "Queen of Pop" is heading to Shanghai for her first concert on the Chinese mainland on November 29.

The pint-sized pop diva will perform at the Hongkou Football Stadium as part of her "Kylie X 2008" world tour this year. The tour, which kicked off in Paris in May, is an enormous US$16 million production that has already traveled through more than 21 countries across Europe.

More than 500,000 people have been stunned by Minogue's glittering performance, the first-class production and dazzling Jean Paul Gaultier wardrobe.

"The eclectic mix of sounds on 'Kylie X 2008' has afforded me the opportunity to explore and develop a new live show that is fresh, exhilarating and innovative," Minogue says. "It is a look to the future but definitely includes favorites alongside the new."

It will be Minogue's second visit to Shanghai - she has appeared here last year to help launch her beachwear collection designed by Swedish fashion chain H&M.

Her show promises a good balance of old and new covering almost all her classic hits, including "I Should Be So Lucky," "Confide in Me" and "Spinning Around" as well as material from her latest, much-discussed comeback album "X."

With lavish stage design, a great cast of dancers, acrobats and musicians, not to mention outlandish Jean Paul Gaultier-designed costumes, ultimate showgirl Minogue promises this will be her most spectacular show ever.
