If there’s anything we all could probably use a healthy dose of right now, it’s joy. Kesha is on the case with The Freedom Tour, and the Monday announcement heralded it as a new era for the popstar “defined by radical self-expression, spiritual resilience, and rebellious joy.”
Beginning May 23, Kesha will bring her signature energy to the road with a crew of special guests: Chromeo, Sizzy Rocket, MEEK, and Erika Jayne are all confirmed to be along for the (joy)ride. (Openers vary by date; check your event page for exact info.)
Kesha’s most recent chapter of her career has been exciting to witness, including the release of her 2025 album Period and the celebratory tour that followed. If you missed it, this summer is your chance; speaking about the upcoming trek, the artist shared, “Freedom isn’t just leaving something behind—it’s discovering that what you have lived through has made you magnificently who you are.”
Tickets go on sale for The Freedom Tour this Friday. See you on the dancefloor?
