Kylie Minogue announces first residency in Las Vegas

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has announced her first residency in Las Vegas. Minogue has not toured the US since 2011.

The three-month residency in Sin City begins in November this year, and will take place at The Venetian Resort's new nightclub, Voltaire.

Minogue’s Vegas residency will begin on November 3 and is expected to include about a dozen shows. Tickets go on sale on August 9.

The pop icon, 55, will be the first headliner at Voltaire, a new nightclub venue at the Venetian Resort.

 “VEGAS BABY!” the singer wrote on Instagram. “So excited to headline the all-new @VoltaireLV at @VenetianVegas starting this fall. See you there!”

The pop star, whose latest album ‘Tension’ is due for release in September, has been performing since the late 1980s, and is known for her incredible costumes.

Her first Las Vegas residency comes hot on the heels of the singer’s runaway hit single ‘Padam Padam’.

The Voltaire reportedly seats around 1,000 people, which will make the shows smaller and more intimate affairs than many other high profile Vegas residencies

The singer has promised extravagant costumes and dances, saying that at this point in her career she has “earned the right to” play in Las Vegas.

“I’ve performed a couple of times at Vegas, but as part of a tour, and particularly when I did the Showgirl tour in 2004 – at that time we said, ‘oh, this feels like a Vegas show’”, the Australian pop star said at a Los Angeles news conference, as per Deadline.
