I'm not going with no standing :( I'm 6`5 and I don't want some seated bitch behind me whinging constantly because I'm stood up!

Honestly, I'm happy with medleys for songs that are tour staples. I'd like All The Lovers and Love At First Sight to only appear in them please.

In terms of floor seating, Madge's Celebration tour was the same, was it not. That's likely where Kylie got the idea.

Do you have any idea how DEAD the atmosphere at this tour would be if she did a setlist like the one you’re proposing? :D

I too hope she pulls out a few deep cuts and fan faves, of course. But this is an arena tour. The crowd will want to hear the hits.

To be fair there are plenty of hits that don't get an outing nearly enough.

In Your Eyes, I Believe In You, Shocked, What Do I Have To Do, In My Arms - the public need reminding that these were hits too rather than the usual curation of songs that Kylie and co have stuck to for years.

I love a lot of those songs too, but there is absolutely a reason they don’t get as many live airings as Love at First Sight and All The Lovers.
 
Don't get me wrong - I love them, Love At First Sight in particular but current metrics seems to suggest that In Your Eyes was the bigger hit anyway.
 
In Your Eyes could probably stand a few more airings, but Becky from Sheffield is absolutely not dropping £120 for a rare night out with her best girls and gays because she just can’t wait to hear IN MY ARMS.
 
I really want to go but if it is anything like the crowd at Girls Aloud (many of whom needed some form of sheep dipping) then I will give it a pass.

I'm not sure I'm familiar with this term. I'd guess Girls Aloud attendees were largely millennials anyway. Kylie attracts the more sophisticated (read: older) type. :disco:

Girls Aloud are a decent comparison I think because their fanbase does seem unusually dedicated in terms of the deeper cuts (plus obviously hugely weighted towards millennial queens) but even at their recent show there was a notable energy dip and mass toilet exodus during the likes of Girl Overboard and On The Metro.

Kylie absolutely can - and should - pull out an In Your Arms here and a Story there for this tour, but the trade-off is that she plays the majority of the handful of songs the casual fan will be looking forward to - and that includes the likes of Kids, LAFS, Lucky, The Locomotion etc. It's the double-edged sword of being a beloved national treasure and not a cult act.
 
The Loco-Motion holds nowhere near the affection that Lucky does almost everywhere except Australia and the States.

How about Donna from Doncaster?

Well quite! Which brings around your point about the tour being marketed as "The Tension Tour" Vs "Kylie live 2025"

To be fair, if Kylie envisioned restricting this tour to people who went out and bought Tension, she probably should have just gone the whole hog, booked a few regional theatres and labelled it the return of the Anti-Tour.

YES PLEASE! :disco:
 
I hope she performs Sincerely Yours. It's one of my favourite Kylie songs and brought me to tears when I saw her perform it live.

That’s a good call - On The Metro was a moment at GA where you could tell a decent number of the crowd had no idea what it was. They came for Love Machine, Biology and similar.
 
Plus the fact that no-one really uses the word "metro" so they were probably puzzled as to what they were singing about.
 
Maybe this is why Kylie has opted for floor seating. To force people to sit through and endure. I will be TUTing very loudly if anyone attempts to get me off my seat to allow them to pass.

I agree with this but also Girls Aloud don’t really have a big enough back catalogue for it to be an issue- The Loving Kind and Life Got Cold were the only bits to miss out? (Well, bar poor covers that nobody needs).

I also disagree that in my concert On The Metro and Girl Overboard were mass toilet exodus moments.

And both went off where I was. Then again, I wasn’t in cheap seats up the back…
 
I sit halfway between the two arguments here. Although it’s been a while since her last tour, she’s done LOTS of shows and the setlist has been fairly static. It would be nice to get some interesting stuff but that has to lean heavily on the hits, absolutely. I have no issue with the likes of All The Lovers and Love At First Sight, but stop making them the fucking encore.
 
At the show I went to, Graffiti My Soul and Girl Overboard did seem to be piss/bar breaks for quite a few of the casuals. On The Metro not quite so much, but that might have placement in the set.

I don't think I'm going but I agree about moving All The Lovers and Love At First Sight from the encore. And Wow begone entirely.
 
I think I only ever really enjoyed it on the X Tour and then on the Golden tour (largely because it was radically reworked).
