It’s not the first time Kylie has seemingly taken inspiration from Adele, after she announced her Las Vegas residency in June.

Kylie has sold out all 20 dates in the 1,000-capacity Voltaire club at The Venetian, which will run on select weekends from November 2023 through to May 2024.

It follows from Adele’s own first residency, Weekends with Adele, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace which kicked off in November last year and will finish just as Kylie’s begins on November 3.

Kylie is also set to release her sixteenth studio album in September after an incredibly successful singing career which began in the 1980s.
