KylieFever2002 was a global concert tour in support of Kylie Minogue's 2001 hit album, Fever.

The tour was the biggest production Minogue had ever put on. The album and its music videos were able to provide and inspire multiple stage sets and costume changes. These included: 'Silvanemesis', 'Droogie Nights', 'The Crying Game', 'Street Style', 'Sex In Venice', 'Cybertronica', and 'Voodoo Inferno', each representing a different side to Minogue.

The tour had a much larger budget then past shows due to the success of the album and its singles. Due to the increase in money the stage sets were able to become much grander with two staircases and five projection screens which were used to enhance the different themes of the show.

The costumes for the show were designed exclusively for Minogue by Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana. The choreographer for the tour was done by Rafael Bonachela, who was able to put his ideas and interpretations of the music into dance movements.

A special webcast of the show at Manchester's MEN Arena was shown exclusively on MSN UK live for fans around the world.
