  • On A Night Like This Tour is a Kylie Minogue concert tour in support of her seventh studio album Light Years that began in March 2001. Having hit the headlines around the globe for her hugely successful performance at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, and having subsequently performed again at the opening ceremony of Sydney's Paralympics soon after, Minogue seized the opportunity to announce details of her new tour. It became the fastest-selling concert tour of her career when tickets went on sale that November, and with dozens of sell-out shows, she had succeeded in establishing herself as one of the most in-demand live entertainers. The tour began with a bumpy start, however, when the first show in Dublin, Ireland, scheduled for 1 March, had to be cancelled due to treacherous storms preventing air travel into the country. 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 back-drops 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.
  • On a Night like This Tour es la gira que sostiene el séptimo álbum de la cantante Kylie Minogue Light Years el cual empezó en marzo de 2001. Teniendo los encabezados a su favor por su magnífica presentación en la clausura de los Juegos Olímpicos de Sídney 2000, y su subsecuente participación en los Juegos Paralímpicos, Kylie vio la oportunidad de anunciar las fechas para su nueva gira. Ésta se convirtió en la gira mejor vendida de Kylie, los boletos se agotaron de manera increíble; esto la colocó como uno de los artistas con mayor demanda en conciertos en vivo. Kylie se vio inspirada por los espectáculos de Nueva York, los films de Anchors Aweigh, South Pacific y los musicales de Fred Astaire y Ginger Rogers de los años 30. Describiendo a Bette Midler como una "heroina", Kylie incorporó algunos de los elementos de "burlesque" que Midler utilizaba en sus shows en vivo. El espectáculo dirigido y coreografiado por Luca Tommassini ofreció de manera increíble, la cubierta de un trasatlántico, un cielo Art Deco de la ciudad de Nueva York, y el interior de una nave espacial. Minogue fue elogiada por su nuevo material y sus reinterpretaciones de algunos de sus mayores éxitos, "I Should Be So Lucky" en balada sobre el piano y la canción "Better the Devil You Know" en 1940 con un gran número de la banda. Porque volver a examinar su catálogo junto a material nuevo, muchos lo etiquetaron como una gira de grandes éxitos. Desde la apertura de los bares de "Loveboat" al encore de "Spinning Around", el recorrido, cada noche, fue una mezcla de pop, el cabaret, el brillo y el glamour. En medio de las rutinas de baile y diversas "showpieces", estrenó Minogue "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", una nueva canción que se habían registrado inmediatamente antes del inicio del viaje.
