Background

Minogue performing during her concert in New York City

In contrast to Minogue's previous tours (with the exception of the Anti Tour), the singer conducted the tour as a short strip of concerts in small venues, performing to reduced crowds and in an intimate setting.[1]

Speaking on the tour, Minogue stated:

"I'm so excited to perform songs from my new album Golden in these iconic European clubs. Each of these venues is very special and—just as I found making the new album in Nashville to be so energising—these shows will be new, intimate and fun. I just can’t wait to bring these new songs to life and of course, throw in a few surprises for my fans."[2]

In July 2018, Minogue announced an additional thirteen European concerts, which were planned to be a part of the promotional tour. These shows were scheduled to take place in November, consisting of her and her band "sharing the new album" with "a few surprises".[3] However, in late September, Minogue announced that these dates would instead be part of the Golden Tour.[4]
