This is a list of concert tours by Kylie Minogue, an Australian pop music singer. Since 1989, Minogue has embarked on nine worldwide concert tours performing in Australia, Europe and Asia. Minogue's first live concert performance was in 1988 at Canton, a nightclub in Hong Kong.[1] The following year she embarked on her first tour, performing in front of 38,000 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.[2] Her most recent tour, Showgirl - The Homecoming Tour, sold-out across Australia and the United Kingdom, and featured duets with U2's lead singer Bono and Minogue's sister Dannii.[3][4]

Minogue's stage shows include elaborate costumes and sets that were inspired by Broadway musicals, science fiction films and electronic music groups such as Kraftwerk.[5][6] In 2003, Minogue was named "Live Performer of the Year" at the Australian Mo Awards.[7]
