Kylie Minogue is gearing up to give the gays much more after the success of her album "Tension." The Australian pop princess just announced that she is following up the album with a deluxe edition and a tour to support the project.

As reported by Billboard, "Tension II" is set to land Oct. 18, with its first single, "Lights Camera Action," out Sept. 27. Also on the project includes Kylie's recent collabs with The Blessed Madonna, Orville Peck, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, and Sia.

All in all, "Tension II" will include 13 new songs.

"I am beyond excited to announce the Tension Tour 2025," said Kylie in a statement. "I can't wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more! It's been an exhilarating ride so far and now, get ready for your close up because I will be calling 'Lights, Camera, Action' ... and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!"

For her tour, Kylie plans to hit her homeland of Australia, Asia, and the United Kingdom. The first concert kicks off on Feb. 15 at Perth's RAC Arena.

"The Tension era has been so special to me," said Kylie. "I can't possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to 'Tension II'."

Kylie's album "Tension" has hit No. 1 in the U.K. and Australia, blessing us with the global hit, "Padam Padam." Kylie then picked up the Global Icon Award at the BRIT Awards, making her the second woman to take home the honor following Taylor Swift in 2021. Kylie then also received a Billboard Women in Music Icon Award.

And most of all, Kylie grabbed the Grammy Award for best pop dance recording, awarded for "Padam Padam." Fresh off inaugural Las Vegas Residency, Kylie seems to be taking over the world.
