Intimate and Live was the fifth concert tour by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, in support of her sixth studio album, "Impossible Princess" (1997). Minogue confirmed the tour after her creative directors, William Baker and Steve Anderson, had discussed the idea with her. Both Baker and Anderson, who were inexperienced in touring, decided to direct and promote the tour after Minogue left Deconstruction Records and Sony BMG. The set list consisted of mainly songs from the supporting studio album and rehearsals started during January 1998.
