Kylie Minogue hasn’t toured Australia since March 2019, but in February/March 2025, she’ll embark on her biggest tour since 2011.
Tonight, the Spinning Around singer has announced the first of her world tour dates in support of her latest LP, the career-redefining Tension and newly announced sister album, Tension II.
The tour begins in Kylie’s home country of Australia before she heads to Asia and the UK in May, with more countries and dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
The Australian dates begin at Perth’s RAC Arena (Saturday, 15 February), followed by the Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Tuesday, 18 February), two dates at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (Thursday, 20 February, Friday, 21 February), a show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre (Wednesday, 26 February), and wrap up with two dates at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena (Saturday, 1 March, Sunday, 2 March).
Kylie released a statement about the highly anticipated tour dates: “I am beyond excited to announce the TENSION TOUR 2025.
“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!”
