Aussie pop superstar Kylie Minogue brought her Golden tour to the 3Arena tonight for a priceless performance.

The stunning singer - who turned 50 this year - was forced to cancel her original 7 October Dublin gig due to illness. But her rescheduled performance was worth the wait.

The Antipodean songstress proved she gets better with age as she wowed fans with a spectacular show.

With a career spanning four decades, 74 singles (including 7 UK number ones) and 14 studio albums, it was safe to say the audience were in the hands of a pro.

Opting for no support act, the great lady herself took to the stage at 8.10pm.

With lots of line dancing and even more glitter, what followed was a two-hour spectacle that was part country music show, part disco and 100% entertaining.

Kylie kicked off with the eponymous track from her country-inspired Golden album, before launching into Get Outta My Way, Better The Devil You Know and a cover of Blue Velvet.

Then came a change of outfit and tone as the songstress ditched the dancers and went solo for a boombastic version of the 90s hit Confide In Me. The song really showcased her powerful and highly underrated vocal.

Between songs Kylie enjoyed light hearted but sincere banter with the crowd, admitting she was ‘on the ground in tears’, after cancelling her previous Dublin gig.

At one point she serenaded a lucky chap with a few bars of her hit Where The Wild Roses Grow. She closed out first half of the show with an amazing retro mashup of her mega hit Can’t Get You Outta My Head and iconic The Fleetwood song “The Chain”.

After a 20 minute break she returned with the business end of the gig, which saw fans treated to many of the hits they’d been waiting for.

Channelling her inner biker chic in head to toe leather, she kicked off with rock-inspired versions of Slow and Kids, at one point showing off her famous derrière with a cheeky sway of the hips.

Then came disco love anthem The One and Stop Me From Falling. Throughout the show, Kylie’s love of performing and appreciation for the crowd shone through.

She was genuinely delighted when the audience began chanting her name and insisted on turning on the full lights In order to commit the ‘beautiful and spectacular’, crowd to memory.

She dug deep into the treasure trove of 80s classics to bring out Wouldn’t Change a Thing, Locomotion and even Especially For You, which nearly sent the girl beside me into orbit.

A spectacular finale saw Kylie go full disco as the stage the transformed into Studio 54 for hits like On A Night Like This and Spinning Around.

She finished with a show- stopping performance of her recent hit ‘Dancing’ that left fans sure of one thing. They should be so lucky to see such a quality pop performance again.
