Kylie
Minogue Gears Up For New
Year Gig
Thousands
of British fans will
welcome in the New Year
with pop star
Kylie
Minogue
as she stages her UK
comeback.
The
Australian singer is
launching the British
leg of her Showgirl
Homecoming tour at
Wembley Arena in
London.
Fans
in Sydney were the first
to see the tour last
month as Kylie Minogue,
covered in pink
feathers, returned to
the stage following
treatment for breast
cancer.
The
pint-sized star, 38, has
promised the £65
New Year show will be
"the biggest party of
all".
It
kicks off at 2000 GMT,
finishing as the clock
strikes midnight and
2006 draws to a
close.
A
dancefloor with capacity
for 3,500 people has
been specially-built at
the North London arena,
allowing revellers to
continue celebrating
until 1am.
Transport
for London (TfL) has
announced that Tube
services will be free
and run until 0430GMT,
as well as normal night
bus services.
Kylie
Minogue has another six
dates planned at Wembley
in 2007, followed by a
further six nights in
Manchester.
It
had been hoped she would
also play at this year's
Glastonbury festival,
after pulling out of a
headlining slot in 2005
following her cancer
diagnosis.
But
earlier this month
festival organiser Emily
Eavis told BBC 6 Music
that Kylie was too busy
to join this year's
line-up.
Kylie
Minogue's record
company, Parlophone, has
also said she is working
on material which could
be released in
2007.
