Kylie Minogue’s "Tension" World Tour Ignites Perth with Rave Reviews
Perth, Australia – Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue has kicked off her eagerly anticipated "Tension" world tour to a chorus of accolades from media and fans alike. The first concert at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, over the weekend was hailed as "sensational," with critics praising Minogue’s "breathtaking performance."
"Kylie’s hit-packed setlist blended fresh material with beloved classics, ensuring fans of all generations felt the thrill," raved music magazine Rolling Stone. The repertoire spanned from "The Loco-Motion" and "I Should Be So Lucky" to "Where the Wild Roses Grow" and the Grammy-winning "Padam Padam."
Beyond the musical prowess, media outlets lauded the "stunning visuals" that accompanied Minogue’s performance, including glamorous stage outfits, towering video screens, and a mesmerizing performance inside a suspended diamond-shaped laser cage.
"The visuals were breathtaking," wrote The Guardian. "The combination of the flashing lights, the towering screens, and the dancers’ precision made for an unforgettable spectacle."
After captivating audiences in her homeland, Minogue will embark on a global odyssey, with concerts scheduled in Bangkok, Tokyo, Toronto, New York, and more. The European leg of the tour commences in May, before concluding in South America.
Minogue, with over 80 million records sold, remains the most successful female singer from Australia. Her resurgence has been fueled by the release of her 16th studio album, "Tension," in 2023, featuring the infectious single "Padam Padam," and its follow-up, "Tension II," released in October.
In addition to her musical achievements, Minogue has enjoyed a successful acting career. Her debut album, "Kylie," was released in 1988, and since November 2023, she has been captivating audiences in her first Las Vegas residency show.
