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.
