Queen Of Pop Kylie Minogue Sets ‘Tension II’ Album & World Tour " Led By First Single "Lights Camera Action."
"The Kylie locomotive is gathering steam.
The Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue will drop the sequel to Tension on Oct. 18, and will support the release with a major world tour, including stops in her homeland, Asia and the United Kingdom.
Tension II will collect 13 new songs, and is led by the first single “Lights Camera Action,” due out Sept. 27. The set also houses the previously-released dance cut “Edge of Saturday Night” with The Blessed Madonna plus collaborations with Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, and Sia.
“I am beyond excited to announce the Tension Tour 2025,” she says 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! 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!”
Kylie kicks off her homecoming tour of Australia with a concert Feb. 15 at Perth’s RAC Arena. That leg should help make up for the disappointment of this year’s Splendour In The Grass cancellation, where Kylie was booked to headline what would have been her first concert Down Under in five years, since her seven-date run in support of Golden in 2019.
Kylie’s career is on fire. Tension hit No. 1 in the U.K. and Australia, and yielded the global hit “Padam Padam,” which cracked the U.K. top 10 and won an ARIA for best pop release.
Earlier this year, she collected the Global Icon Award at the BRIT Awards, becoming just the second woman to win it following Taylor Swift in 2021, and backed it up with the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award.
Also, Kylie nabbed a Grammy Award (best pop dance recording) for “Padam Padam,” completed her inaugural Las Vegas Residency, and signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live representation in the U.S. and Canada and acting roles worldwide.
The Melbourne-raised, London-based artist has amassed over 80 million record sales worldwide, 5 billion streams and nine No. 1 albums in the U.K., where she is the only female artist to score an albums chart leader in five consecutive decades.
“The Tension era has been so special to me,” Kylie adds. “I can’t possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to ‘Tension II’.”
