On a Night Like This (concert tour)
On a Night Like This was the sixth concert tour by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, in support of her seventh studio album, Light Years (2000). The tour consisted of a European leg and Australian leg, beginning on 3 March 2001 at the Clyde Auditorium, in Glasgow, Scotland, and concluding back in Australia on 15 May 2001 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. With both legs of the tour consisting of 23 shows, respectively, Kylie was among the most successful Australian touring artists.
After the success of her performances at the 2000 Sydney Olympics' closing ceremonies and during the opening ceremony of the Paralympics, days later, Minogue's team announced details of the planned tour. Tickets went on sale in November of 2000, with a demand that established her as one of the most popular live acts at the time. However, the tour began somewhat problematically, when opening night at the RDS Arena, Dublin, Ireland, on 1 March 2001, was cancelled due to air traffic control restrictions.
Minogue was inspired by the style of Broadway shows such as 42nd Street and films such as Anchors Aweigh, South Pacific and the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals of the 1930s. Describing Bette Midler as a "heroine", she also incorporated some of the "camp and burlesque" elements of Midler's live performances. The show directed and choreographed by Luca Tommassini featured elaborate backdrops, such as the deck of an ocean liner, an Art Deco New York City skyline, and the interior of a space ship. Minogue was praised for her new material and her reinterpretations of some of her greatest successes, turning "I Should Be So Lucky" into a torch song and "Better the Devil You Know" into a 1940s big band number.
The following set list is obtained from the 11 May 2001 show in Sydney, Australia. It is not intended to represent all dates throughout the tour.
Act 1: Loveboat
Act 2: Revue
Act 3: Broadway Swing
Act 4: Club
