Kylie Minogue, the Australian pop princess who burst onto the music scene in 1988 with "Locomotion," is in the middle of a decadent 2011 North American tour dubbed "Les Follies." According to the Guardian, attendees can expect a heart-shaped stage, several dancers, eight acrobats, and 30 water fountains. The 42-year-old singer says it's "the most technologically advanced and extravagant stage that has ever been built to date."

Aphrodite, Minogue's 11th studio album, was released in the summer of 2010 and debuted at the top of the U.K. albums chart. The album has yielded several dance anthems, including "All the Lovers" and "Get Outta My Way," and shows that she's not prepared to roll over for Robyn and La Roux just yet.
