KylieX2008 was the tenth concert tour by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, in support of her tenth studio album, X (2007). The tour began on 6 May 2008 in Paris, France, at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy and concluded on 22 December 2008 in Melbourne, Australia, at the Rod Laver Arena. Consisting of five legs, with a total of 53 shows, the tour visited 24 European countries, six in South America, seven countries and territories within Asia, and eight cities across Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, much to fans' delight, KylieX2008 would see Minogue performing in a variety of regions for the first time in her career—which, at the time, spanned roughly 20 years—, such as Argentina, Beijing, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Dubai, Finland, Greece, Hong Kong, Latvia, Norway, Shanghai, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela.

X is the tenth studio album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. EMI Music Japan released it first in Japan on 21 November 2007, before its release in Australia by Warner Music Australia two days later. The album was released in the United Kingdom by Parlophone on 26 November 2007, and in the United States by Capitol and Astralwerks on 1 April 2008. Work on the album began in July 2006, following Minogue's gradual recovery from breast cancer. After finishing Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour in early 2007, she returned to the studio to complete the album, with the help from many producers including Bloodshy & Avant, Calvin Harris, Greg Kurstin, and Freemasons.
