“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,” says Kylie of the new tour. ​

2024 has already seen Kylie take home the Global Icon Award at the BRITs, win the Best Pop Dance Recording Grammy for the smash hit, ‘Padam Padam’, attend the Met Gala, complete her inaugural Las Vegas Residency, perform at WeHo Pride and release a series of high profile collaborations. July saw Kylie perform an awe-inspiring and critically lauded headline show at London’s BST Hyde Park. Described by The Guardian as “a glorious celebration of pop perfection” (5*) and by Metro as “outrageously good” (5*), Rolling Stone’s 5* review said: “This pop queen’s London takeover proves her unchallengeable place atop the throne remains perfectly intact.” 

Kylie released her Number 1 album Tension in September 2023 which has now surpassed 500,000 sales worldwide and nearing half a billion streams. Tension II is on its way, ready to drop on 18 October via Mushroom Music. A brand new collection of 13 songs, Tension II is a high energy, high octane partner of the Number 1 album and global smash Tension, which sees Kylie head further into the electronic space, and is packed full of dance floor anthems. The record includes nine brand new Kylie studio tracks plus the latest dance hit ‘Edge of Saturday Night’ with The Blessed Madonna as well as the collaborations with Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, and Sia.

Lead single ‘Lights Camera Action’ is coming in hot, ready for release next week on 27 September. It’s all leading into another killer Kylie era and we cannot wait!
