Kylie Minogue has recently told newspaper “The Sun”’s Bizarre column that her upcoming tour, set to begin in February 2025, is going to be “all killer and no filler”. The Australian singer has revealed that, after the festivals played in the past couple years, she feels ready to go back on stage and excited to craft a new setlist which will contain almost forty years of music. Earlier this year, Kylie played London’s iconic festival BST Hyde Park and performed at this year’s edition of the BRIT Awards.
Kylie holds the UK record for the only artist who has had albums peaking at number one in five different decades, from the 1980s to 2024. Her albums have spent 493 weeks in the charts since her debut in 1979, and she has seven number one songs in her discography. Her first charting album “Kylie” peaked at number one in 1988 and charted for 67 weeks, her “Greatest Hit compilation” also achieved the number one position in 1992 and charted for eleven weeks, and almost ten years later “Fever” released in 2001 also peaked at number one and eventually spent 85 weeks on UK charts. In 2010, “Aphrodite” ensure Kylie another number one (and included hit “All the Lovers“), followed by “Golden” in 2018, “Step Back in Time” in 2019, “Disco” in 2020 and sister albums “Tension” and “Tension II” IN 2023 and 2024.
Kylie has previously performed one-off shows and festivals in the UK, even headlining Glastonbury in 2019. While her last UK performances are rather recent, with some concerts taking place this summer and a few festivals played in 2023, her upcoming “Tensions Tour” will mark her first world tour since 2011. So far, there are stops planned in Australia, Asia North America, and many countries in Europe, including the UK (which, despite being the smallest country on the tour’s map, is also the one with more stops!).

Originally, less dates were scheduled, but more had to be added to satisfy the extreme demand. With a career that ranges over decades, (and with success in each and every decade), Kylie Minogue is ready to take the UK by storm with her much-awaited Tensions Tour. Most UK dates are already sold out, but tickets for London, Birmingham and Glasgow are still available. Check out Kylie’s website for more info.
