As Kylie continues to add new dates to her 2011 tour Les Folies, new details have emerged about the show – including further specifics about the already infamous stage.

In a rather bold statement, the pop legend promises fan “the most technologically advanced and extravagant stage that has ever been built to date”.

With a whopping $25 million price tag – it has a lot to prove!

The heart-shaped stage incorporates one million moving parts, seven lifts, 30 water fountains and, somewhat intruigingly, a rain curtain.

According to a press release issued by 42-year-old diva, it is “the best, most complex and most exceptional stage that has ever been built for a venue”.

That’s not even mentioning the water show (with the much talked about splash zones), which was developed by the same team that tinkered with Disney’s California Adventure theme parks, or the “fly system”, which was modelled on Spider-Man the musical.

Apparently that is a revolutionary way of transporting singers and musicians across stage.

Les Folies will feature 10 dancers, eight acrobats, five live musicians and two backing singers.

There will be 200 costumes and a crew of 120 people to transport the 45-tonne set using 10 lorries.

You can watch a 3D mock up of the stage below.

Now only one question remains – when is Kylie going to announce the Australian leg of this unprecedented extravaganza?
