Yesterday’s announcement of Kylie Minogue’s Tension Tour has left Australia in a state of frenzy, as Padam Padam lovers and OG Neighbours fans scrawl to find out the latest on how to get their hands on tickets.
Announcing to social media yesterday, Kylie admitted she was “beyond excited” about 2025’s Tension Tour—a celebration of her sister albums Tension and Tension II, the latter of which is slated for release on October 18th.
While Minogue may be a national treasure, the Can’t Get You Out Of My Head singer hasn’t graced Australian soil since March 2019, and 2025’s arena tour will be one of her biggest in over a decade.
