Kylie Minogue opened her Tension world tour in Perth Saturday 15 February 2025. In the six years since Kylie’s last tour, the Golden tour, she has released three albums ‘Disco’ (2020), ‘Tension’ (2023) and ‘Tension II’ (2024) and the new show reflects the new music Kylie is performing live for Australia for the very first time.
Covering off the ‘Disco’ era (2020) Kylie performs a medley of four tracks, Supernova / Real Groove / Monday Blues / Where Does the DJ Go?, at the end of Act III in a cluster following the single ‘Say Something’. The ‘Tension’ and ‘Tension II’ albums appear six times in the set. There is even placement for the brand new 2025 song ‘last night i dreamt i fell in love’.
The ‘Tension’ show also have plenty of hits dating back 37 years to “singing Budgie” days of ‘Loco-Motion’ and ‘I Should Be So Lucky’.
There is a lot of history to cover in a Kylie show and she certainly does that, going by the Perth setlist.
Kylie is at that “inconvenient” part of her career that she cannot possibly play all the hits in one show anymore. That’s a position most artists can only dream about.
‘Tension’ swings in and out of timezones transporting the audience from 2024 to 1990, back to now and off to 1988. It looks like a wild ride.
