Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue who starred with Akshay Kumar in her Bollywood debut hit ‘Chiggy Wiggy’ (Blue, 2009) is once again set to prove why she remains one of Australia’s most beloved pop diva.
In a 2021 interview with ANI, Minogue said that she was looking forward to working in Bollywood once again, “I would really like to come to India and sing a song there once again.”
Minogue is set to embark on her largest global tour since 2011, with the “Tension Tour” kicking off on 15 February in Perth.
The Australian leg will see her perform in Adelaide (18 Feb), Melbourne (20-21 Feb), Brisbane (26 Feb), and Sydney (1-2 March), before heading to Asia and the UK in May.
Excited for her first major Australian tour since 2019, Minogue said, “I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more.”
Minogue’s upcoming album Tension II, a sequel to her chart-topping 16th studio album Tension, will be released on 18 October, with the lead single Lights, Camera, Action out on 27 September.
Tension II will feature 13 songs, including nine new studio tracks and a selection of recent collaborations. These include Edge of Saturday Night with The Blessed Madonna, Dance Alone with Sia, Midnight Ride with Orville Peck, and My Oh My, featuring Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo.
The album promises to delve further into the electronic space that defined Tension, which became Minogue’s fourth consecutive number-one album in Australia, led by the global success of Padam Padam.
Padam Padam became an instant hit and was embraced as a Pride anthem. It earned Minogue her 18th ARIA Award in November and her first Grammy in 20 years in February for Best Pop/Dance Record. The song also brought Minogue back into Triple J’s Hottest 100 after a 27-year absence, setting a record for the longest gap between appearances.
Minogue was initially scheduled to headline this year’s Splendour in the Grass festival, which was later cancelled. Fans anticipated that her performance would draw inspiration from her Las Vegas residency and her spectacular 2024 BRIT Awards medley.
Over the summer Minogue played several European festivals and the 2025 “Tension Tour” marks Minogue’s return to Australian arenas for the first time in a decade, following her “Kiss Me Once” tour in 2015.
