We Are Back Tour

We are Back Tour is twentieth major headlining concert tour by Kylie Minogue. The tour visited every continent, beginning in the Utilita Arena, Birmingham in the United Kingdom, comprising of a total of 150 shows.

Background and development
Following the such success of her Infinite Disco World Tour but was cut majorly sort due to COVID-19 Kylie began to create another tour which would take elements of every tour with a couple of surprises. The tour was announced on Kylie's website which said "I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Infinite Disco World Tour before COVID-19 and I'm going back on the road with an brand new tour called We are Back."

Kylie started rehearsing for the tour in December 2021 with the tour taking place on the 1st March 2022.

Rehearsals
After ten days of rehearsals, an initial draft of a set list was drawn up, featuring fourteen songs from Disco, and fifteen from the rest of Kylie's career. Over the course of production rehearsals, many songs were swapped and changed around to aid the flow of the show. The first few drafts of the set list featured less deep-cuts than opening night, but Kylie and Steve Anderson agreed that this tour was the perfect opportunity to include non-singles and lesser-known singles, so as to cater to the die hard fans, as well as introducing casual fans at the show to her older music.

Synopsis
The We Are Back tour stage was a mix of all the stages that Kylie has had over the years, with the main stage being LED floor a protection Screens that could move around.

The first act, Xtatic Electric act opens the show with a futuristic video showing the outline of Kylie's face polarized in neon colours. The video curtains slide open to reveal Kylie perched in a giant hoop dressed in a 'spiderwoman' gown, singing "Speakerphone". On technically limited shows, the giant stereo speakers (and other related props) moved rapidly to reveal Kylie. She performed her worldwide hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which was mashed up with unreleased track "Boombox". Kylie then performed "Ruffle My Feathers" which was followed by "In Your Eyes"  which closed the act.

The second act, Space Odyssey begins with twinkling lights appearing on the video screen, as excerpts of "Light Years", "Dreams" and "Supernova" are heard; this then builds into the countdown of "Light Years", as the video screen rises once again to reveal Kylie in a red jumpsuit adorned subtly with sequins; she sings alone initially, before her dancers arrive on stage draped in flowing coloured cloths as they move about the stage; the song is shortened slightly and leads into "Supernova" where Kylie is joined by her female dancers, as a laser show lights up the venue. "Supernova" ends and is immediately followed by the outro of "Light Years" which closes the act.

Beach Party begins with "Loveboat" and goes on to go into "A Second to Midnight" where Kylie is joined by Olly Alexander at opening night which was dropped after Opening night. Then the audience hears Jessie Ware's "What's Your Pleasure" as a intro then "Kiss Of Life" is performed with Jessie Ware at every night. Kylie closed the act with the celebratory "Spinning Around".

Dance Floor Darling opens with "Dance Floor Darling" which is followed by "All The Lovers" and then is closed by "Say Something".

The show takes a sombre tone as it progresses into its sixth act Starry Nights, with Kylie appearing in a blue satin gown and premiering another new song, the power ballad "Flower" together with a ballad version of "I Believe in You". The act ended with I Believe In You but in Birmingham it closed with a brought down version of "Dancing"

In the seventh act Black Versus White, Kylie appears as a 19th-century coachman, performing "On a Night Like This", "Your Disco Needs You", "Kids", "Step Back in Time" and "In My Arms". The act begins with a black and white theme and progresses into colour.

The act before the encore was added after opening night it was a celebratory section opening with a medley of "New York City", "Raining Glitter" and "On A night like this" which was a huge shock to fans as she had reprised On A nIght like this. which was followed by "The Locomotion".

The Section closed with an another medley "Shocked", "Step Back In Time" which was followed by "Better The Devil You Know"

Kylie re-emerged on stage in a Cher-esque evening suit performing "No More Rain". which was followed by "The One", Kylie addressed the audience and said ive got a song that you are going to like then "Better The Devil You Know" was performed in full this time which is followed by "Love at First Sight" Kylie addresses the audience and then she closes the show with "I Should Be So Lucky".

Small Venues
In smaller venues such as the Royal Albert Hall the set list was changed dramatically as it had to cater for the stage size. The show removed "Ruffle My Feathers", "In Your Eyes", "Love Boat", "A Second to Midnight" and the Starry Nights section completely. Xtatic Electric, Space Odyssey and Beach Party merged and "Spinning Around" closed the first act
