Kylie Minogue concert chronology

The Rhythm of Love Tour was the third concert tour by Kylie Minogue, in support of her third studio album Rhythm of Love (1990). Beginning on 10 February 1991, the tour visited Australia and East Asia.

Contents

The concerts showcased a more confident Minogue as she began to command control over her image, as well as new songs from the album Rhythm of Love , which offered a then new sound for the Australian pop star. Costumes for the shows, with exception of the opening outfit (a Rigby Peller basque and PVC shorts) were designed by the same team as Kylie's previous two tours and marked the final time she would engage their services.

Planned VHS release for the show, recorded in Sydney Australia was cancelled in favour of an updated version of the tour following its extension into Europe in late 1991. By then, it had become known as the Let's Get to It Tour in support of a new studio album of the same name, with new wardrobe, modified set list and a much more live assured Minogue.
