Kylie Minogue - Tension Tour 2025

I wonder if they've got any U.S. promo planned. I guess there are fewer and fewer opportunities for TV performances, but I feel like a well produced medley on a U.S. show (and, subsequently, posted all over TikTok, IG etc.) could help move some of the thousands of unsold U.S. tickets.
 
I've come to the conclusion that this tour simply isn't for me and that's okay. I'm thrilled she herself is receiving her flowers with these glowing reviews - because she deserves it.

I really hope another Anti Tour happens in the near future though.
 
I went to the first night in Brisbane and I think this is probably the best big arena show I’ve seen her do.
The setlist was perfect and it was amazing to hear Did It Again.
The minimalism of the show just showed how strong all the songs are, props weren’t needed.
The only other show that comes close for me was the intimacy of the Anti tour.
 
He/him
This is the first big arena gig my son is going to experience with me (we're seeing Loreen next month, but that's a different beast altogether). Having seen multiple Kylie tours myself before I will say I'm pretty disappointed that this doesn't look particularly exciting. The setlist is good, and it's basically a non-stop singalong, but I'll definitely miss the spectacle, and I'm a bit bummed JJ won't be seeing the kind of big pop show that we've described.

Quite possibly?
There's 2 weeks between Asia>Canada & USA>Scotland - she's either doing promo OR making regional tweaks to the set-list.
 
Wow, tonight in Sydney was fantastic. I don’t know what all the complaints are about.

Is the stage design simple, yes. But it is really well used. The light and lasers are great too. I would agree that the screens at the beginning are a little dull compared to the rest of the show, after that they’re all pretty fantastic. My only other minor niggle was a couple of the times she went off to change the transition was just dark and a bit clunky.

But the actual themes were quite clear to me, there were references from club culture, 70’s through to now. Pop art and pop artists, club kids. Some nice little nods to Kylie’s own history too, Confide especially.

The set list was a non stop party and the only slower moments, Say Something and Confide in Me, were gorgeous. Confide was one of the best performances of the song I’ve seen.

We did a little happy Mardi Gras message too, which was nice. Lots of interaction etc. she did a bit of Hand on Your Heart for the requests and Lucky.

Kylie’s charisma, stage presence and genuine emotion are the stars of this show and I can’t believe anyone would be disappointed after being there in an arena with her on this tour. We were in the 2nd row and all the new songs were well received, even Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love. Fantastic night.

Excellent review, and sounds like you had a fabulous time of which pleased to hear!
