Kylie Minogue announces 2025 Tension world tour including UK - confirmed venues, dates, get tickets

The Tension tour will kick off in Minogue’s home country of Australia before heading to Asia and reaching the UK in May 2025. Additional dates across Europe, North America, and South America are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

"I am beyond excited to announce the Tension tour 2025," Minogue shared in a statement. "I can't wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more!"

The UK leg of the tour will include stops in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Birmingham, with two shows scheduled at London's O2 Arena.

Minogue, whose decades-long career includes hits like I Should Be So Lucky and Can't Get You Out Of My Head, first hinted at the tour while announcing her new album, Tension II, set for release in October. The album's lead single, Lights Camera Action, drops on September 27. "But wait! There's more..." she teased, with the tour announcement following soon after.

This will be Minogue's first tour since her Golden shows in 2018 and 2019, and her biggest since the Aphrodite: Les Folies tour in 2011. The new album will feature the dance hit Edge of Saturday Night with The Blessed Madonna, as well as collaborations with artists like Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo, and Sia.

Reflecting on her recent success, Minogue said: "The Tension era has been so special to me. I can't possibly let it be over just yet!"

Minogue’s viral hit Padam Padam, released in 2023, marked a return to electronic dance music and brought her massive success, leading to a Las Vegas residency and a big performance at London's Hyde Park earlier this year. "I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action... and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!" she added.
