Kylie X 2008

Last Wednesday, Greg and I jumped on a catamaran to the O2 Arena on the Greenwich peninsula in the docklands. The O2 was previously known as the Millennium Dome, but is now being slowly turned into an entertainment centre of epic proportions. At present there is the O2 Arena stadium, a more intimate music venue, nightclubs, cinema complex and a massive food court. The O2 Arena seats 20,000, and was the venue on this night for Kylie Minogue's X concert.

The show was pretty good, but not as good IMHO as her 2001 On A Night Like This Tour, which was livelier and more faithful to her pop roots. Most of the songs in this show were sourced from her X album, which is, apart from three tracks, quite average. With fewer feathers this time round, the standout attraction was the incredible LED visuals on the stage backdrop and floor.
