The Down Under darling, 56, belted out some of her greatest hits, as well as some new material, during the Sydney concert amid her Tensions tour.
The Padam Padam hitmaker didn’t seem concerned she might lose audience members to Mardi Gras, as she packed Qudos Bank Arena with screaming fans.

She added soft waves to her blonde tresses, and, at one point, could be seen performing from a swing which was lifted high into the air.
Kylie stopped the show later in the night to put a call-out to Mardi Gras, the LGBTQIA+ festival happening at the same time as her concert.
‘Hi Mardi Gras. It’s me, Kylie, I’m on stage here with all my friends, my nearest and dearest, and we just wanted to send you a message of love,’ she said.
She then encouraged all her fans to scream: ‘Happy Mardi Gras.’

The beloved pop princess first took to the stage at Rod Laver Arena (previously the National Tennis Centre) back in 1990.
Since then she’s played a whopping 33 shows at the venue, and sold more than 386,000 tickets.
The star was unveiled by Melbourne Park CEO, John Harnden, and is located in the forecourt of Rod Laver Arena adjacent to the statue of the late Michael Gudinski.
‘It’s hard to believe it’s been 35 years since I first stepped on stage at this venue, and I’m honoured to be acknowledged in this way in my hometown of Melbourne,’ Kylie said.
‘It seems appropriate that MG will be watching over my star each day.’

‘What an incredible, another wild turn in my life and my career,’ the Can’t Get You Outta My Head hitmaker continued.
