Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue is to release a download-only concert album entitled "Kylie Live In New York."

Set to drop globally Dec. 14, the album was recorded at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom earlier this fall as part of the diminutive singer's first ever North American tour.

International release is being handled by Parlophone/EMI, excluding Australia and New Zealand where the artist is signed to Mushroom Records. Mushroom will also release "Kylie Live In New York" digitally on Dec. 14.

The 25-song set contains live versions of international hits "Confide In Me", "The Locomotion" and "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" -- the latter in its remixed form with the New Order track "Blue Monday" and renamed "Boombox/Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head". ITunes customers will also receive 3 bonus tracks.

To preview the release, YouTube will be running a 1-hour audio stream of the first half of the show from midnight U.K. time Dec. 12. The stream will be available for 24 hours.

Kylie Minogue's debut U.S. tour took place Sept. 30 to Oct. 11 this year.
