In May 2009, Kim performed during the Here & Now Tour 2009. The tour consisted of seven dates in the UK. Originally the tour would have had Boy George as headliner, but after he was sentenced to prison earlier in the year, he was replaced by Rick Astley. Other acts included in the line-up, besides Kim, were Nathan Moore (from Brother Beyond), Hazel O’Connor, Altered Images, Howard Jones and Kid Creole & the Coconuts.
The tour started on 14 May 2009 in Liverpool and ended on 23 May 2009 in London. Other shows took place in Manchester, Nottingham, Cardiff, Newcastle and Birmingham.
