The ‘Tension’ tour dates follow closely behind the release of her upcoming album, Tension II.
Kylie Minogue is bringing “Padam Padam” and her other hits to North America for the first time in over a decade.
The Australian pop icon, who had previously announced her Tension Tour dates for the UK, Asia, and Australia, revealed on Thursday, Oct. 3, that she’ll be making stops in North America as well. From March to May, fans across the U.S. and Canada will have the chance to see her perform in various arenas next spring.
“I am thrilled to announce the TENSION TOUR 2025,” Minogue shared. “I can’t wait to create unforgettable and thrilling moments with fans around the globe, celebrating the Tension era and beyond! The journey has been amazing so far, and now, get ready because I’ll be calling Lights, Camera, Action … and there will be plenty of Padaming!”
The Tension tour will kick off on March 29, 2025, at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, followed by stops at Chicago’s Allstate Arena, a huge performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden, and other cities like Atlanta, Miami, and Phoenix. The tour will wrap up at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
American Express cardholders will have early access to a special presale, including VIP packages, starting Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, Oct. 10 at 10 p.m. local time. Fans can also participate in the artist presale starting Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. General ticket sales will open Friday, Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. local time.
More tour dates will be announced for Europe and South America.
2024 was a standout year for Kylie Minogue, as she earned the Global Icon Award at the BRITs and took home a Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording for “Padam Padam.” She also completed her first Las Vegas residency, which had a star-studded audience, including Janet Jackson.
Earlier this summer, Minogue joined forces with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo for the track “My Oh My,” a playful tribute to their zodiac signs and a nod to Megan Thee Stallion’s memorable mispronunciation of Tove Lo’s name.
The song will be part of Minogue’s highly anticipated album, Tension II, set to release on Oct. 18. The 13-track album will also include collaborations with The Blessed Madonna, Orville Peck, Diplo, and Sia.
