[2] The tour began on 30 September 2009 in Oakland, California, at the Fox Theatre and concluded on 13 October 2009 in New York City at the Hammerstein Ballroom, consisting of nine shows in North America.
It was originally believed Minogue did not want to scale down the show for smaller venues but later revealed she was swayed by her management to not perform in the U.S. and Canada.
However, Minogue did tour the U.S. with Jingle Ball, an annual concert festival produced on by KIIS-FM, visiting Boston, Anaheim, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, New York City, and Seattle.
Minogue stated, "I've wanted to tour in America and Canada for years now and know that fans have been waiting a long time for this.
[7] Minogue later commented on the tour, stating, "It was a micro-tour, but I've got to tell you it was so rewarding [...] It was a mission from the heart… It was like… setting my wallet on fire because basically it just made no financial sense to do it, but I just reached a point where I thought, 'That's it!
The show began with an overture containing elements of "Over the Rainbow", "Somewhere" and "The Sound of Music", which leads into "Light Years", remixed by Steve Anderson.
The second section began with a slightly altered version of the "Everything Taboo Medley" used in the Homecoming Tour", but used elements and samples of "Fascinated", "Ride on Time", "The Real Slim Shady" and "Buffalo Gals", the latter two used in the Fever Tour and did not use the "Step Back in Time" sample.
This was followed by a small dance interlude titled "Heart Beat Rock Segue" that included elements of the song "Mickey".
The penultimate section began with the mashup of Kylie's "Burning Up" and Madonna's "Vogue"; this was followed by the jazz version of "The Locomotion" used in the Showgirl Tours.
After being "stunned by the glitz and glamour of Kylie's tour and the power it had to pull in celebs when she performed at the Palms", Vegas promoters even offered Minogue a complete residence for a show in the city.
[10] In December 2009, Billboard magazine announced Minogue would release a live recording of her performance at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
