It Sounds Like Kylie’s Actually Doing a U.S. Tour (& Extending ‘Stress,’ Once more)3 min read

Kylie Minogue, The One True Kylie™, has had a fully unimaginable 12 months: from inflicting Padamonium on the Web, to breaking the Stress, to kicking off her Las Vegas residency, to changing into a Grammy Award nominee as soon as once more…amongst one million different feats, actually.

Now, she’s teasing the thought of that long-demanded U.S. tour, and sounding far more assuring that it’s taking place than ever earlier than. (She’s bought to be, bought to make sure…)

Throughout an look on The Jennifer Hudson Present this week – which is surreal sufficient of a sentence as it’s, thoughts you – the “Cruise Management” crooner kinda-sorta spilled the beans on plans to tour stateside, which she hasn’t correctly achieved for the reason that Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour 13 years in the past.

“I’d like to, sure,” she stated as JHud requested whether or not she’d hit the street post-Vegas.

“Sure. I haven’t bought the dates but, however we’re engaged on it,” she added. “I cannot allow you to down.”

As for whether or not it’ll be “a giant one” or “intimate,” she merely stated: “I don’t know. We have now to attend and see.” (Well-known pop star phrases.)

Clearly, it could be a dream for Kylie to move again out on the street in any capability (we haven’t had one since Golden!), however it could be particularly thrilling in full razzle-dazzle vogue, massive manufacturing mode. She’s clearly had some unimaginable tour runs through the years, and the U.S. is lengthy overdue some main spectacle from our Mighty Aphrodite. (We have been sadly cheated of the fountain waterworks throughout Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour, and I’m nonetheless bitter about it.)

And there’s much more good cause to tour: not solely did we get Stress final September, plus the deluxe version, and the bonus deluxe version (we nonetheless want “Heavenly Physique” and “Drum” on streaming, Group KM), adopted by the prolonged combine version Extension, however now it seems we’re getting much more Stress very quickly. (Stress: The Extension: The Re-Prolonged Version, maybe?)

On the finish of her Selection interview concerning the success of “Padam Padam” and her Grammy nomination, there was a tiny-but-crucial morsel casually thrown into the ending: “However with the Grammys, the again half of the residency and an expanded rerelease of Stress due within the coming months, ‘Padam Padam’ feels much less a end result of her profession than the start of a brand new chapter.”

Stress, additional prolonged for our pleasure? A probable factor for probably the most giving pop star on the planet to do.

We already know she’s bought no less than one new track on the way in which: Sia is about to drop her new single “Dance Alone” that includes Kylie on February 7, forward of her personal 2024 studio album, Cheap Girl.

Kylie sneakily teased a primary hear of the still-unreleased monitor as folks waited for her to hit the stage throughout certainly one of her most up-to-date Voltaire residency dates, which was mercifully captured and unleashed onto Stan Twitter forward of time. (It sounds nice, unsurprisingly.)

So there you have got it: a U.S. tour kinda-sorta confirmed, an extra expanded serving of Stress, plus a brand new single dropping this month. Is there a fanbase extra constantly well-fed than the Lovers? I believe not.
