Kylie Minogue has announced plans for a string of live shows later this year.
The singer will perform a collection of concerts known as the Anti Tour, which will be intimate sets that will include renditions of B-sides, demos and rarities.
The first batch of dates released are for Australia and will take place at The Palace in Melbourne on March 18 and The Big Top in Sydney on March 20.
The star promises "a unique experience" for fans to witness the "flipside to a huge Kylie production".
Tickets for the two shows will go on sale at 12pm (Sydney time) on March 7 via Minogue's official website.
The tour is part of Minogue's K25 project, which celebrates her 25 years in the music business.
According to the Herald Sun, each ticket for the shows will come in the form of a wristband with the name of the owner on it, preventing the re-selling controversy that caused outrage when Radiohead and One Direction tickets recently went on sale in Australia.
The wristbands must be collected and signed for by the credit card holder who bought the tickets online.
Minogue revealed that she dreamt up the concept of this tour after her multi-million dollar 'Aphrodite Les Folies' spectacular last year.
She said: "I don't know how I can beat having water fountains, which is madness.
"Some people's favourite tour is still Intimate and Live where we had two penny farthings to put it on. The reason I thought of it was, when you're on the big shows you're obliged to play a stack of hits. How do you go bigger? You don't, you go completely the other direction."
Minogue also joked that she is going to "need a lyric stand" for the gig because her fans will probably "know all the lyrics better than" her. However, she admitted that this "fills [her] with excitement".
The press release:
Sunday 18th March 2012 The Palace, 20-30 Bourke St., Melbourne Tuesday 20th March 2012 The Big Top, Luna Park, Sydney
Small, intimate, unexpected. A unique experience, for super fans only. Kylie and her band performing those songs you thought you’d never hear live! The flipside to a huge “Kylie production”, a once in a lifetime chance and a night to remember.
