Sweet relief is at hand for any Kylie Minogue fans left gutted after her headline set at this year’s Splendour In The Grass was thwarted by the fest’s shock cancellation, with the Australian princess of pop now unfurling a full blown Aussie arena tour for 2025.
Coming in honour of her 16th studio album and pop-cultural comeback Tension, the Australian headline run will kick off at Perth’s RAC Arena on Saturday, 15th February before heading to Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and wrapping up at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday, 2nd March.
Kylie Minogue – ‘Padam Padam’
Kylie will also be doubling up in Melbourne and Sydney, delivering two massive shows in each of those cities.
“I am beyond excited to announce the TENSION TOUR 2025,” the Global Icon Award winner said today in a press statement. “I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more! It’s been an exhilarating ride so far and now, get ready for your close up because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action … and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!”
The massive tour across her home country will kick off Kylie’s biggest world tour in more than a decade, with the pop icon then to take her show on the road across Asia and the UK, with more countries and dates to be announced over the coming weeks.
The big news also comes as Kylie gears up to release Tension II – a partner album to 2023’s chart-topping Tension LP that promises fans a brand new collection of 13 dancefloor anthems, including latest hit ‘Edge of Saturday Night’ with The Blessed Madonna as well as big ticket collabs with Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, and Sia.
“The Tension era has been so special to me … I can’t possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to Tension II, Kylie said.
That record will drop on Friday, 18th October and is available to pre-order here.
