Kylie Puts On Her Biggest Hometown Show Ever #KylieMelbourne

Kylie was fun, Kylie was thrilling, Kylie was a great night out. Kylie Minogue shows have always been great but this hometown show for Melbourne was special. The first Melbourne night of the Tension tour as spectacular. The ‘Tension’ tour is so fast paced across a few hours that it feels like its over moments after it starts.
