\n\tKylie Minogue<\/a> is the latest musician \u2013 and the first female performer \u2013 to join the prestigious \u201921 Club\u2019 at London\u2019s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs per Rolling Stone Australia<\/a>, the honor is bestowed upon performers who have performed 21 or more sold-out shows at the English venue. For Minogue, the admission to the club follows on from her four recent performances at the venue as part of her global Tension Tour \u2013 bringing her final tally to 24.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe club was first launched in 2007 to mark Prince<\/a>\u2018s record-breaking run of 21 sold-out shows at the venue, and since then only seven other performers have been inducted, including Michael Bubl\u00e9, Take That, One Direction, Drake, Young Voices, Micky Flanagan and Michael McIntyre.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichael Jackson<\/a>\u2018s 50-date This Is It residency would have seen him become the second artist inducted into the club, though these shows were cancelled following his premature death in June 2009.<\/p>\n

\n\tMinogue first performed at the venue in July 2008, just over a year on from its initial opening, and will receive a bespoke \u201ckey to the venue\u201d as part of her induction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe \u2018O2 21 Club.\u2019 London \u2026. you know how much I love you already but THISSSS was special,\u201d Minogue wrote<\/a> of the honor on social media. \u201cTo be the first female headliner to make the club and join PRINCE!!! Wowwwwwww. THANK YOU.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a huge achievement to join the exclusive 21 Club at The O2, and we couldn\u2019t be happier that Kylie is the first female to do so,\u201d added Emma Bownes, Senior Vice President of Venue Programming at AEG Europe.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe is a phenomenon, a true music icon, and we\u2019re beyond grateful she\u2019s brought so many of her incredible tours here. We hope there are plenty more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMinogue\u2019s impressive feat follows on from another legacy-related milestone in February, where she was honored with a star<\/a> at the Melbourne Park sporting complex in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n

\n\tCoinciding with the third of three consecutive performances at the city\u2019s 14,820-capacity Rod Laver Arena<\/a>, it also coincided with Minogue\u2019s first performance at the venue back in Feb. 1990 when it was then known as the National Tennis Centre.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince her debut at Rod Laver Arena 35 years ago, Minogue has gone on to play 30 shows at Melbourne Park, amassing sales of more than 350,000 tickets in the process. Her three recent dates brought that total to 33 performances with an additional 36,000 ticket sales, making her one of the most successful artists to ever perform at the Melbourne destination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMinogue\u2019s Tension tour continues throughout Europe across June and July, before wrapping in South America the following month.<\/p>\n
