a result of the tour's logistics schedule. Overall, the tour grossed approximately $21 million from 33 shows. Footage from the 12 November show in Glasgow was filmed for television broadcast and DVD release, titled Kiss Me Once Live at the SSE Hydro. Background In July 2013, Minogue confirmed the plans for an upcoming tour on Twitter, in response to an article in The Mirror's 3am column. Rumours of a performance in Greece also began to be reported in October of the same year. In March 2014, the Kiss Me Once Tour was officially announced, with dates for the European leg revealed. In June, dates for the Australian leg of the tour were announced via The Voice Australia. Minogue held a small concert featuring seven songs at Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel in Ibiza, Spain in August, prior to the tour commencing. On 8 September, Minogue posted a series photos from rehearsals at her official website, as well as her official social media accounts. Discussing the mental toll of touring ahead of the Kiss Me Once Tour with the Belfast Telegraph, Minogue stated, "It's a bit odd, but when we're fully on the road, you can't really think about anything else, and the crew becomes family. If someone needs a hand or is having an off day, everyone else just rallies around to pick up the slack and helps out where they can. It's an incredible thing." Four shows in Germany were scheduled as part of the tour's schedule; Cologne, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg. However, due to financial difficulties of promoter CT Creative Talent, the shows were cancelled in October 2014. A show in Vienna, Austria was also cancelled as a result of the tour's consequently altered schedule.

In the days leading to the first show, it was announced there would be six songs performed from Kiss Me Once, a further 18 songs from the rest of her career, plus an "unexpected cover"; which was revealed on opening night to be "Need You Tonight" by INXS.
