It's been more than 30 years since Kylie Minogue, unquestionably the Australian queen of pop, first burst onto the global music scene with 'The Loco Motion'. She's since gone on to become an international household name and her spark hasn't dimmed at all, with tunes like ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’, ‘All The Lovers’ and ‘Padam Padam’ (released in 2001, 2010 and 2023 respectively) consistently reinstating her position as one of the world’s true pop stars. And though she’s famous across the world, Kylie holds a special place in Aussie culture. To quote Jacob Elordi, the pop princess is “a national treasure. Period.”, so it feels right that she’s kicking off her world tour – her biggest since 2011 – here on home soil.

When are Kylie's Melbourne shows?

After lighting the fuse for the Tension Tour in Perth and continuing through Adelaide, Kylie will grace Melbourne with her presence during two Melbourne shows on Thursday, February 20 and Friday, February 21. Both shows will take place at the massive Rod Laver Arena. 

When do Kylie Melbourne tickets go on sale?

General tickets for Kylie’s Melbourne shows will go on sale on Wednesday, October 2 at 1pm Melbourne time via Ticketek. If you’re buying for the Kylie fans in your life, you might need to cut a few from the list – there’s a limit of ten tickets per purchase for general sale tickets (and a limit of six for presale tickets).

If you want to get in the mood before the show, you can pre-order Tension II here.
