This year has already seen Kylie take home the Global Icon Award at the BRITs, win the Best Pop Dance Recording Grammy for ‘Padam Padam’, attend the Met Gala, complete her inaugural Las Vegas Residency and release a series of high profile collaborations. July saw Kylie perform an awe-inspiring and critically lauded headline show at London’s BST Hyde Park. Described by The Guardian as “a glorious celebration of pop perfection” (5*) and by Metro as “outrageously good” (5*), Rolling Stone’s 5* review said: “This pop queen’s London takeover proves her unchallengeable place atop the throne remains perfectly intact.” Kylie released her Number 1 album ‘Tension’ in September 2023 which has now surpassed 500,000 sales worldwide and nearing half a billion streams.
