She will play nine UK arena dates across the country – including Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham and London.

The trek also includes two dates at London’s famous O2 Arena.

It will be Kylie’s first tour since her 2019 Golden Tour and her biggest since 2011.

Kylie said: “I am beyond excited to announce the Tension Tour 2025.
“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!”

Kylie has also announced her seventeenth album – less than a year after her chart topping Tension.

Out October 18, Tension II serves as a follow up record to the album that helped her career reach new heights thanks to mega hit Padam Padam.

Tension II’s lead single Lights, Camera, Action is out September 27 and looks set to be another hit.

The Sun can reveal on the dance floor-filling banger of a track, Kylie sings: “Tune it in, tune it out. All I want is the noise

Turn it up, turn it loud. Till you’re weak out of choice.

“We’re turning sinful tonight. It’s about to go off. Tell me can you feel it?”

She then launches into a Vogue style chorus over a thumping beat.

Kylie said: “The Tension era has been so special to me … I can’t possibly let it be over just yet! Welcome to ‘Tension II’.”

DANIEL DUBOIS has quickly punched his way to dizzy heights in the boxing world – and his father Dave couldn’t be more proud.

Dynamite announced himself as a destructive puncher when he won all of his first 15 pro fights, 14 being knockouts.

And his incredible talent has helped him earn title shots against the likes of Tyson Fury slayer, Oleksandr Usyk and British legend Anthony Joshua.

But fans want to know who raised such a heavy-hitting boxer.

Who are Daniel Dubois’ parents?

Daniel Dubois’ mother has kept herself out of the media but his father Dave is a former Camden Market street trader.

Dave – whose actual birth name is Stan – also used to travel to New York, United States in the 1980s where he would sell posters for a living.

Every other week he would pack a case full of African and Caribbean posters and get on a plane to Harlem to sell them.

Dubois’ father revealed that he made a million dollars in one trip and by 1997, he became a dedicated single parent once his financial future was secured and both mothers “accepted the situation”.

He fathers 11 children which includes Daniel and they were all born to two women – his first wife and subsequent girlfriend.

Dave first took Daniel to a boxing gym in South London when he was 9 years of age as he believed that it shapes your character

He mentioned that Daniel could do push-ups for hours at a time by age 10.

And Dave has put his two sons Prince and Solomon on the same path along with his daughter Caroline Dubois who is an Interim WBC women’s lightweight world champion.

Who is Daniel Dubois’ sister Caroline?

Caroline Dubois is British professional boxer who was born January 11, 2001.

Caroline is one of eleven children which includes her older brother, heavyweight boxer Daniel Dubois.

She also started boxing when she was nine, and her father wanted her to practice at the top club where Daniel trained.

The British star has won:

• 2016 European junior champion (54 kg)
• 2017 European junior champion (60 kg)
• 2018 English National Youth Champion (60 kg)
• 2018 European junior champion (60 kg)
• 2018 Youth Olympic Games champions (Girls’ lightweight)
• 2018 World Women’s Youth Champion (60 kg)
• 2019 English National Youth Champion (60 kg)
• 2019 European Women’s Youth Champion (60 kg)
• 2024 Interim WBC Women’s lightweight world title

What has been said?

Daniel Dubois speaks very highly of his father and touched on the buildup to his huge upcoming fight.

Speaking to The Guardian, Dynamite said: “He’s a legendary man and I’m grateful he’s been in my life from day one.

“He’s in charge of most things but with boxing, he wants me to be the boss because I’m the one taking the licks.

“This fight is more intense than normal and it’s definitely the biggest of my career so far.

“But I love the buildup. It gets my blood boiling and I’m definitely in that killer mode.”

Who is Daniel Dubois fighting next?

Daniel Dubois is all set to conest in a highly anticipated all-British bout against Anthony Joshua.

ANTHONY JOSHUA VS DANIEL DUBOIS: All the information you need ahead of huge world title fight at Wembley

The two Londoners will clash for the IBF heavyweight belt after Oleksandr Usyk confirmed he was vacating the world title.

Dubois goes into this huge battle off the back of a stunning victory against Filip Hrgovic.

BARS will open especially for a one-off sporting event expected to be attended by thousands at Southwell racecourse.

The Nottinghamshire venue and Del Mar in California don’t have much in common – apart from a track.

City Of Troy will be the star of the show in his one-off Southwell gallop – with thousands expected to attend[/caption]

But Southwell, which it’s fair to say is famed mostly for lower-level all-weather racing, could prove crucial in City Of Troy’s quest for history.

The Derby, Coral-Eclipse and Juddmonte-winning colt is aiming to become the first horse ever to win the Epsom feature and the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Bookies make him 5-2 favourite although they expect those odds to shorten if he shines at Southwell.

The Classic, the feature of the two-day Breeders’ Cup meeting in Del Mar, is run on the dirt.

City Of Troy’s trainer Aidan O’Brien believes a run at Southwell is the best prep for his American adventure.

The Ballydoyle boss’ former Classic chances Giant’s Causeway and Galileo did the same, with the former going on to lose the Classic by a neck in all-time thriller in 2000.

Southwell are expecting a huge crowd considering no actual racing will take place.

Bars will be opened as well as Tote betting stalls, with action from elsewhere on Friday being shown on the big screen.

Some 1,200 people have pre-booked tickets but it’s expected a whole load more will rock up on the day to see a slice of history.

Clerk of the course John Holliday said: “Because of the interest he’s generated we’ll open some bars, the Tote will be open, we’ll put up the big screen and broadcast the racing off course before the gallops because we’re expecting them to be a little bit later in the afternoon. We’ll be open from 1pm.

“They’re bringing their own American stalls, their own stalls team, ambulance, vets.

“All the hardware’s arriving Thursday, and then the horses are arriving Friday morning. It’s a fairly big operation.

“It’s getting towards being a full-blown raceday from an organisational point of view.

“We have them in the stables, we’ve had 30-odd press requests, we’ve been asked for permission to film in the stables, I think it’ll be a busy old afternoon.”

Unfortunately ITV have been forced to drop their coverage of this year’s Breeders’ Cup.

But the Classic, which will be run on Saturday, November 2, will be shown live on Sky Sports Racing and Racing TV.
