Kylie Minogue will kick off her ‘KylieX2008′ world tour in the French capital of Paris on May 6. 

The Australian singer’s tour will cross Europe before culminating in a seven night stand at London’s O2 arena at the end of July and beginning of August. 

The tour - the largest ever undertaken by the ‘In My Arms’ singer - sees her play in countries she has never played in before including Greece, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Luxembourg, Russia, Latvia and Spain. 

Kylie will also have an entirely new backing band, complete with a brass section, 14 dancers and four acrobats. French designer Jean Paul Gaultier has worked extensively on the design of the show and come up with seven costumes for Kylie, including a geisha-inspired outfit.
