Kylie plans 'Aphrodite' tour for 2011

Kylie Minogue has confirmed that she will "definitely" be touring in support of her new album next year.

The singer, 42, also refuted suggestions that her touring plans might be less ambitious than in previous years.

"A tidy little touring schedule that's all wrapped up in a couple of months? That's not going to happen!" she said. "The last couple of years I've really made the effort to visit a lot of places I'd never toured in before and that was so rewarding, fulfilling and inspiring. I'm a glutton for punishment so I want to do it again and I want to take it even further."

Minogue is currently busy promoting her eleventh studio album Aphrodite, which was released on Monday, but she is already taking time to plot the tour's creative direction.

"I know it's going to take a long time to put together so the workaholic in me will not rest just yet," she admitted.

"I'm so excited to have this new music to incorporate into the show and the title Aphrodite is just a no brainer - there are so many things we could come up with artistically and creatively! It's going to be a lot of fun."
