Tours: Kylie Minogue’s Tension Tour 2025/26

Kylie Minogue’s Tension Tour 2025/26: The Pop Queen Is Back and Ready to Own the Stage
After a few years away from major tours, Kylie Minogue is back with her biggest show yet — the Tension Tour, hitting 31 venues worldwide in 2025 and 2026. With fresh material from her latest album Tension II and a career packed with hits, Kylie’s proving she’s still one of pop’s most unstoppable forces.

Kylie’s been grinding in the studio and on stage since dropping Tension in 2023. The follow-up, Tension II, arrived in late 2024, delivering that signature Kylie blend of dance-pop with a modern twist. The new tracks feature collabs with big names like Sia, Diplo, and Tove Lo, keeping her sound sharp and current.
The tour kicked off in early 2025 in Perth and will wrap up by mid-2026 after covering Australia, the UK, Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Big arenas like London’s O2, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, and Mexico City’s Foro Sol are all on the list. Fans can expect 31 concerts packed with energy, light shows, and all the Kylie hits they know and love.

What’s the Setlist?
Kylie’s mixing the new with the classic. Here’s a sneak peek at the main tracks lighting up the stage:
• New bangers: “Lights Camera Action,” “Hold On to Now,” and “Padam Padam” (which has become a fan fave).
• Classic crowd-pleasers: “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” “Spinning Around,” “Better the Devil You Know,” and “Love at First Sight.”
• Cool medleys: Kylie throws in some mashups like “Supernova / Real Groove / Monday Blues,” showing off her dancefloor cred.
• Emotional moments: Acoustic versions of “Say Something” and the Abbey Road Sessions take things down a notch.
She’s also throwing in fan requests – no two shows feel the same, and that keeps the energy fresh.

What’s the Show Like?
Kylie’s known for killer visuals, and this tour is no different. Expect slick choreography, multiple costume changes, and a stage setup that’s equal parts glam and futuristic. The lighting and production take the party vibe to another level, but Kylie’s real magic is how she connects with the crowd, sometimes handing out roses, other times just owning the mic and making you feel like you’re part of something special.

Since bursting onto the scene in the late ‘80s, Kylie’s transformed from Aussie soap star to global pop icon. With 17 studio albums under her belt, she’s one of the best-selling artists worldwide, known for reinventing herself while staying true to her dance-pop roots. Recent years have seen her win big awards like the Brit’s Global Icon and Billboard’s Women in Music Icon Award, cementing her legacy.
Her music isn’t just about nostalgia either, she keeps it fresh, collaborating with today’s biggest producers and artists, and staying relevant in a constantly changing industry.

Kylie’s not just about the stage. She’s built a serious brand, including Kylie Minogue Wines, which has sold over 20 million bottles worldwide. Plus, she’s a fashion icon and philanthropist, always mixing business with pleasure in style.

If you’ve ever caught a Kylie show, you know the outfit game is serious business – and yes, the gold hotpants are still very much part of the package. After all, what’s a full night of dancing and singing without a little glitter and maybe a few costume changes that could rival a disco ball? We’re pretty sure she’s got enough pairs to keep the stage shining bright until the final encore.
