80s throwback

Kylie is singing Locomotion.

“Let me transport you to the 80s,” she said.

“The Locomotion stops right here at RAC Arena.”

She then left the stage and walked through the crowd in a train like formation to another stage in the middle of the audience.

Surprise!!!

Fan shout out

Another massive round of applause occurs as Minogue takes in the reactions from fans, walking around smiling

“Who took the longest to get ready tonight except for me,” she said.

She then pointed out a small fan in the front row.

“You look so cute!” She said.

She then sang a “fairly fresh” song called The things we do for love.

Lady in red

She’s changed into a more edgy look for On a night like this.

It features a red fish net shirt and matching red jacket and cargo pants.

It complements her bright pink eye makeup which makes her eyes pop.

It looks like most of the people inside the arena are standing up dancing when she launched into Better the Devil You Know.

“I know you’re warmed up now.”

Her dancers have stolen the stage for a moment.

Can we expect a costume change?!!

Kylie we love you!

Following an impressive show opening, there was a deafening minute long applause from the estatic fans before launching into Come Into My World.

She slowed it down a bit by losing her entourage of dancers, leaving a single spotlight on her.

“Good evening everyone,” Minogue addressed the audience.

She was speechless for a moment as fans continued to cheer and she took the big moment in.

“It’s so good to see you all welcome to the Tension tour.”

She then sung Good as Gone for the first time in Perth.

She sang Lights camera action as her first song.

After being lowered to the floor she broke out in Spinning Around - an old classic.
