Kylie Minogue isn’t quite done with her Tension era. The musician has announced the new album, Tension, set for release on Oct. 18 as a companion to last year’s full-length Tension. The second chapter will officially kick off on Sept. 27 with the release of the album’s proper lead single, fittingly titled “Lights Camera Action.”
“The Tension era has been so special to me … I can’t possibly let it be over just yet,” Minogue wrote in a statement. “Welcome to ‘Tension II’.” The 13-track album will include the previously released collaborations “Edge of Saturday Night” with the Blessed Madonna, “My Oh My” with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, “Midnight Ride” with Orville Peck and Diplo, and “Dance Alone” with Sia.
In 2025, Minogue will keep the party going with a world tour. The run will begin in February with an Australian leg before the singer heads over to Asia for stops in Bangkok, Toyko, Kaohsiung, and Manila. In May, Minogue will pick back up with the U.K. leg of the tour, stopping in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, London, Nottingham, and Birmingham.
The North American and South American dates of the Tension tour will be announced at a later date alongside additional dates across Europe.
“I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more,” Minogue shared in a statement. “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!”
