Kylie Minogue is ready to set the French stage ablaze once again with two highly anticipated dates of her Tension Tour. The Australian pop star, who seems to defy the laws of time, will be at the Accor Arena in Paris on June 29, 2025, and at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Décines on July 10. It was during her notable appearance on the show Quotidien on TMC on October 7 that Kylie herself confirmed the news, a radiant smile on her lips, as usual.

A flamboyant return after the triumph of Tension

This tour follows the release of her album Tension in 2023, a true masterstroke thanks to the intoxicating hit Padam Padam. This track, which became the anthem of dance floors and LGBTQ+ celebrations, resonated around the globe, proving that Kylie, now 56, has no intention of slowing down. As if a single album wasn’t enough, the pop star will also release Tension II on October 18, 2024, with the sparkling single Lights, Camera, Action unveiled in September. This new chapter promises to push her exploration of electro-pop even further, collaborating with artists like Diplo, Sia, and The Blessed Madonna. We expect nothing less from someone who has always known how to surprise her audience.

A breathtaking world tour

The Tension Tour will of course start in Australia, Kylie’s home country, in February 2025, before stopping in Asia, then Europe. The European tour will begin in the United Kingdom in mid-May with fourteen dates, before Kylie and her entourage of sparks cross the continent.

For France, two major cities will have the chance to host the diva: Paris and Lyon. A first in six years, as the last time Kylie graced French stages was in 2018 at the Seine Musicale. Fans are eagerly anticipating seeing her again.

A career marked by timeless hits

Since her debut in 1987 with The Loco-Motion, Kylie has continuously delivered memorable hits. Whether it’s Can’t Get You Out of My Head, that catchy anthem that marked an entire generation, or In Your Eyes, each performance by the star is a dive into a glamorous and colorful nightclub. And of course, it’s impossible to talk about Kylie without mentioning the now iconic Padam Padam, which has solidified her status as a queer icon and queen of the dance floors.

The announcement of this tour has set social media ablaze. Tickets for the French dates will be available from October 18, 2024, with an exclusive presale on October 17. All in partnership with Chérie FM, because who else but a sweet and pop station to accompany a stage goddess?

A tour under the sign of the Tension era

Kylie has warned: this tour will not just celebrate the Tension era. Oh no, it will be a true retrospective of her sparkling career. "It’s going to be a real ‘padam’ fest," she joked with a wink live on Sky News, of course referring to her hit phenomenon. With the promise of "magnificent and a bit crazy" moments, fans can expect spectacular performances, with a more energetic Kylie than ever.

The artist, who has brilliantly reinvented herself throughout her four-decade career, continues to reign over pop and light up dance floors worldwide. Her secret? An ability to elegantly blend the nostalgia of past years with the freshness of her new releases. Expect an explosive cocktail of classics and recent tracks, for a grand show where emotions will be running high.

So, if you haven’t got your ticket to see Kylie Minogue in concert in 2025 yet, get ready to click frantically on October 18. After all, there’s no better way to welcome summer than with a fiery evening in the company of this eternal pop goddess.
