    Kylie Minogue is the latest musician – and the first female performer – to join the prestigious ’21 Club’ at London’s O2 Arena.

    As per Rolling Stone Australia, 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 – bringing her final tally to 24.

    The club was first launched in 2007 to mark Prince‘s record-breaking run of 21 sold-out shows at the venue, and since then only seven other performers have been inducted, including Michael Bublé, Take That, One Direction, Drake, Young Voices, Micky Flanagan and Michael McIntyre.

    Michael Jackson‘s 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.

    Minogue first performed at the venue in July 2008, just over a year on from its initial opening, and will receive a bespoke “key to the venue” as part of her induction. 

    “The ‘O2 21 Club.’ London …. you know how much I love you already but THISSSS was special,” Minogue wrote of the honor on social media. “To be the first female headliner to make the club and join PRINCE!!! Wowwwwwww. THANK YOU.”

    “It’s a huge achievement to join the exclusive 21 Club at The O2, and we couldn’t be happier that Kylie is the first female to do so,” added Emma Bownes, Senior Vice President of Venue Programming at AEG Europe.

    “She is a phenomenon, a true music icon, and we’re beyond grateful she’s brought so many of her incredible tours here. We hope there are plenty more to come.”

    Minogue’s impressive feat follows on from another legacy-related milestone in February, where she was honored with a star at the Melbourne Park sporting complex in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia.

    Coinciding with the third of three consecutive performances at the city’s 14,820-capacity Rod Laver Arena, it also coincided with Minogue’s first performance at the venue back in Feb. 1990 when it was then known as the National Tennis Centre.

    Since 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. 

    Minogue’s Tension tour continues throughout Europe across June and July, before wrapping in South America the following month.
