KylieFever2002 (also known as Fever Tour 2002) 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. 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.

It was the first Kylie Tour to have official sponsors, which were Evian and Vodafone. At each of the UK shows, sponsors Evian gave away free bottles of water, the packaging for which replaced the Evian branding with the name 'Kylie'. Bottles were also marked with the words, "Evian - Kylie's official thirst quencher for the 2002 Fever Tour".

Despite rumors of a North American leg (specifically the U.S.), plans never developed due to Minogue's status in that country. Although "Fever" is Minogue's highest selling album to date in the US, it was uncertain if she would be able to fill US arenas (whose average capacity is 19k-25k).
