Kylie Minogue review – a glorious celebration of pop perfection


The star gives a dazzling performance of 35-plus years of pop hits – often in beefed up and euphoric new arrangements – leaving the crowd beaming, breathless and emotional

As she arrives on stage in a red vinyl jumpsuit and launches into the robotic title track from her 2023 album Tension, a current of electricity seems to spread through the crowd. Kylie knows what her fans want to hear, and while she does sprinkle in some newer songs, such as her recent Orville Peck collaboration Midnight Ride, and Hold On To Now from her Tension album, the setlist is mostly a glorious celebration of 35-plus years of pop perfection. New arrangements keep things sounding fresh: Come Into My World is beefed up into a trance tune; Confide In Me gets an extra dose of drama thanks to chest-shaking percussion and embellished vocals; and towards the ending of Slow, the slinky synths give way to a final euphoric chorus filled with hard beats.
