Besides singing her hit Spinning Around, fans of Australia’s golden girl of pop Kylie Minogue had to keep from slipping around as the diva brought her new country and disco-flavoured show to a sodden South Perth foreshore Saturday night.

Remarkably, for a singing career spanning more than 30 years, the show at the 13,000 capacity Sir James Mitchell Park was the first time the 50-year-old has headlined an outdoor concert in this country.

After her band and dancers dressed as cowboys sauntered onstage, Minogue joined them for opener Golden plus hits Get Outta My Way and Better The Devil You Know.

Before the latter, the five-foot tall giant of pop — wearing a red sequined dressed and impressive white cowboy boots — invited fans to pitch in.

“Traditionally you guys sing this one for me,” Minogue said. “Should we see how Perth does it?”

The ARIA Hall of Famer saw the humour in copping wet weather for her first outdoor gig in this country. “It never rains in Perth does it,” Minogue joked.

Minogue probably banked on Perth turning on a balmy evening, rather than a drizzly day.

At the previous two indoor gigs in Sydney, the superstar mixed songs from last year’s chart-topper Golden – her 14th studio album – with big hits, including Confide in Me, Spinning Around, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head and, the 1988 tune that got her musical journey on the rails, Locomotion.

The set list for the Golden Tour also features hit duets Especially for You (with former boyfriend and Neighbours on-screen husband Jason Donovan), Kids (the 2000 Robbie Williams’ hit) and Where the Wild Roses Grow. (the career- redefining 1995 murder ballad recorded with rocker Nick Cave).

She presented the show in five distinct sections with themes that sound like exotic cocktails, including Desert Sunrise, The High and Dry and the disco-themed Studio 54 — each act garnished with a costume change.

The Australian tour, which kicked off in Sydney on Tuesday, is Minogue’s first in four years.

The Perth concert featured her good friend and main support act Jake Shears of New York camp rockers Scissor Sisters, plus Aussie kitsch-inspired synth-pop band Client Liaison, and rising Brisbane solo artist Hatchie.

Minogue played shows in the UK and Europe late last year. The Melbourne-raised and London-based icon will fill the legends slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival in the UK.
