She will join previously announced performers Dua Lipa and Raye.
“I am beyond thrilled to be honoured with the global icon award and to be joining a roll call of such incredible artists,” said Minogue in a statement (via BBC).
Minogue joins the Pop Shop Podcast to preview her residency at the Voltaire Belle de Nuit in Las Vegas, share thoughts on a possible new tour and more.
Kylie Minogue collects her second No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart as her new studio release Tension opens atop the tally (dated Oct. 7). She previously led the 22-year-old list.
The Australian superstar’s 16th studio album, featuring recent Top 10 single Padam Padam and title track Tension, earns 53,000 chart sales in its first week, outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined to reach the summit.
Kylie will now also perform at Voltaire on December 15th and 16th, as well as March 8th, 9th, 15th, 16; April 26th and 27th; and May 3rd and 4th.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 9. Minogue made the announcement Thursday afternoon at a press preview and reception at the Pendry Hotel in West Hollywood.
The follow-up to the Australian pop star’s 2020 album ‘Disco’ is set to land on September 22. Minogue once again teamed up with longtime collaborator Richard “Biff” Stannard, while ‘Disco’ contributor Duck Blackwell has also been brought on board.
“I started this album with an open mind and a blank page,”Minogue remarked in a press release. “Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme,’ it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.” NME reports.
She added: “I loved being back in the studio with my collaborators but was also able to benefit from remote recording, which we have all got used to – my mobile studio never left my side for a year and a half!”
