‘Kesha Live’ Tour Announced For August ’21
– Kesha Live
Grab your glasses, brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack – Kesha is bringing the party this summer with the “Kesha Live” tour. The newly announced August headline dates go along with a previously announced show at First Interstate Arena in Billings, Mont., and an appearance at WonderBus Music & Arts Festival in Columbus, Ohio. Kesha will be joined by a full band and special guest Betty Who.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE WE SAW EACH OTHER WTF!!!!!!!! It’s time to celebrate the fact that we got through the past 14 months, holy shit. Bring. Your. Boogie. Feet. It’s about to go down!!!!!!! Thank god. Let’s party,” Kesha said in a statement.
The road trip starts in Billings, Mont., Aug. 13 and includes stops in Denver, Oklahoma City, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Birmingham, Orlando, Atlanta and Cincinnati.
The tour promises to bring Kesha’s “unbridled onstage charisma” and glitter, with a setlist featuring the pop star’s iconic hits and selections from her latest studio album, 2020’s High Road. A review from Stereogum praises the LP as striking “a believable balance between vulnerability and the bluster she made her name on.”
A presale for Kesha’s email subscribers starts Monday, June 7. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday, June 10 at 10 a.m. local time. Check out the routing below.
Kesha’s other plans include embarking on her second “Kesha’s Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride” cruise April 1-5, 2022. Tune in to her Kesha and the Creepies podcast via iHeartMedia to listen to her chat with an “eclectic mix of guests about their supernatural experiences, the occult, unexplained mysteries, urban legends, psychedelic art, spirituality, astrology and much more.”
Reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice for Kesha include a Sept. 5, 2019, show at Mystic Showroom in Prior Lake, Minn., that sold 1,474 tickets and grossed $138,777.
