Rumours of an Australian tour have been circulating since Kylie was announced as the headline act for the (cancelled) Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay back in March.
Kylie went on to address the rumour and confirm that an Australian tour was a go! Albeit, somewhat accidentally.
On The Fox’s Melbourne breakfast show on 15 July, the Aussie pop star was asked about touring in Australia. Host Brendan Fevola asked, “Are you gonna tour in Australia?”
Hesitating for a moment, Kylie responded, “I wanna say yes. Yes, the answer is yes! We’re just locking down details.
“Maybe I wasn’t meant to say that, but yes,” she added.
THE YEAR OF KYLIE MINOGUE
The interview came off the back of Kylie’s knock-out headline performance at the British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park.
Dubbed, “a glorious celebration of pop perfection”, Kylie delivered a mesmerising performance in a red vinyl jumpsuit to a hyped-up crowd.
Things have been going so well for Kylie lately. Earlier this year, she was named one of TIME magazine’s most influential people. And she took home a global icon award at the BRITs.
The Can’t Get You Out Of My Head singer hasn’t toured her home country since her 2019 Golden tour. But she has released two studio albums and completed a Las Vegas residency.
In particular, Kylie’s recent release of her album Tension has been met with great acclaim. The album’s hit single Padam Padam earned the Australian icon her first Grammy in 20 years for ‘Best Pop Dance Recording’.
And seemingly, the star who never sleeps, Kylie also reportedly signed a huge deal with streaming giant Netflix to release a documentary about her long-standing career.
The 56-year-old will allegedly film the documentary in late 2024, and it will be an exclusive fly-on-the-wall account of her incredible life story.
There’s so much Kylie to look forward to!
