Kylie Minogue will embark on huge UK tour next year as she prepares to release new music

IT’s been six long years since Kylie Minogue last toured the world with her 14th album Golden.

But The Sun can reveal the singer, who is just four years off the big 6-0, is preparing to hit the road again to celebrate her massive No1 record Tension.

And the tour will be as big as the album, with insiders revealing Kylie’s run of shows will be one of the biggest tours of her career, with the pint sized pop star booking dates in arenas across the UK.

The Sun understands that Kylie will kick off the shows in her native Australia, before moving on to America where she is keen to build on the success of her sell out debut Las Vegas residency at Voltaire.

Kylie will then fly into the UK to kick off the massive European leg which goes far beyond a couple of nights in major cities like Manchester and London.

A source said: “Kylie has made no secret of her desire to be back on the road beyond Vegas and her festival gigs this summer.

“She’s known for her big budget shows and this upcoming tour will be no different.

“Kylie has multiple tour promoters on board and, thanks to the success of Tension, her budget has grown so she’ll be going all out with her shows.

“Kylie will play a raft of major shows across the UK next year because she wants to play to as many of her fans as possible.”

If a massive tour wasn’t enough, The Sun can also reveal Kylie is preparing to release new music as a follow up to her recent singles Dance Alone and My Oh My.

We reported in February how the Spinning Around singer had gone back into the studio , with stars including Joel Corry and The Blessed Madonna clamouring to work with her.

Teasing Kylie’s new music, our insider added: “Kylie has been in the studio all year and along with the tour announcement more music is coming.

“It’s not just another single, either. Her fans are in for a treat.”
