Kylie Minogue's first North American tour will cover six cities this fall.

"I've wanted to tour in America and Canada for years, and know that fans have been waiting a long time for this," says the former Australian soap star and Grammy Award winner.

"I'm thrilled that the opportunity has finally arrived."

Los Angeles-based Bill Silva Presents will produce the long-anticipated tour, and CEO Bill Silva has high hopes.

"Kylie has such a successful career outside of North America that it has taken quite a while to find a window in her schedule for the U.S. and Canada. Her amazing fans in North America will be well-rewarded for their patience when they experience her show and its entire spectacle. We are confident in the tour’s success and hope that Kylie will make this the first of many tours to our shores."

Tickets for the North American tour go on sale the weekend of May 15. Live Nation will reveal more detailed information before then.

Minogue has come a long way since her first single, a cover of Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion," in 1987. She's sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and has multiple sold-out tours under her belt.

Minogue's latest release, Boombox: The Remix Album 2000-2008, dropped in January. It featured mixes by the Chemical Brothers, Fischerspooner and Sebastien Leger. She's set to begin working on her 11th studio album.

The pop singer, breast cancer survivor and children's book author has also launched a line of linens and five fragrances.
