KYLIE MINOGUE is returning to Glasgow next year on a sensational new tour.

The superstar will play two nights at the SECC on July 5 and 6, with tickets going on sale at £49 on Monday morning.

It will be an emotional return to the city for 39-year-old Kylie, whose last visit, in March 2005, came just weeks before she revealed she was battling breast cancer.

Just two months after a dazzling five-night run at the SECC, Kylie was forced to cancel the Australian leg of her Showgirl tour so she could undergo medical treatment.

Having successfully overcome the disease, Kylie's career is now back on track.

New single Two Hearts, from her new album X, came out on Monday and is expected to go straight to the top of the charts.

Kylie has also been the focus of a spectacular exhibition in Glasgow.

More than 200 of her most spectacular outfits - including her famous gold hotpants - are on display at Kelvingrove Art Gallery until January 13. Huge numbers of fans have flocked to the exhibition.

lTo book tickets for Kylie at the SECC call the ticket hotline on 0870 040 4000 from Monday morning or visit www.kylie. com. A presale via www.kylie. com will be available at 9am on Saturday.
