When Melbourne's new Australian Museum of Performing Arts (AMPA) opens its doors this December, it will do so in true superstar style. The museum's inaugural exhibition, DIVA, celebrates the world's most magnetic performers, from Maria Callas to Rihanna, Cher to Kylie Minogue, and Elton John to Lady Gaga, with more than 250 items spanning a century of glamour, rebellion and reinvention.

Kylie Minogue is giving fans the chance to relive the biggest tour of her career with the release of Tension Tour//Live 2025, a definitive live album celebrating her 2025 global run. The set is available now digitally via Mushroom Music, with special edition vinyl and CD formats due 13 February 2026.

Kylie Minogue will release her new live album Tension Tour // Live 2025 on September 26, documenting the biggest world tour of her career since 2011. A vinyl edition will follow in 2026, with Kylie already giving fans a taste by releasing the live version of the title track Tension recorded on the tour’s closing night in Monterrey, Mexico.

Here are the major music events, births, deaths and album releases on this day in music for 21 August:

Six costumes worn by Kylie Minogue in the music videos ‘Hand on Your Heart’, ‘Did It Again’, ‘On A Night Like This’, ‘Can't Get You Out of My Head’, ‘I Believe In You’ and ‘All the Lovers’ have gone on display at the Australian Music Vault in Melbourne.

Just a week after accepting the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australia Music from APRA, Kylie Minogue artifacts have gone on display at the Australian Music Vault in Melbourne.

Kylie Minogue felt "very emotional" as she finished her first ever US and Canada arena tour on Friday (02.05.25).
