Kesha Announces First US Tour In Years
The “TiK ToK” singer released a short video on Instagram Tuesday addressing her fans and revealing the news.
Kesha is now pursuing litigation against her former collaborator Dr. Luke, whose label she is signed to.
“I’m playing songs you’ve never heard me play before, and I may never play again”, she said.
“I want to see you there purely for the love of rock ‘n roll and my soul”, she added. “I thrive from making and performing music, and much like a flower with no sun, my soul slowly dies when I don’t get to create and perform”, she wrote.
“This project and upcoming tour comes from my deep eternal love of dirty rock and roll and country music”, Kesha continued in a press release. “We’re going on tour…so will I see you guys there? It’s been too long”.
Kesha tweeted about the new song, her first track in three years, after its release; she said: #truecolors spoke to me so deeply I had to spread the attractive message of personal empowerment…’this is more than a song.it’s a declaration of my truth #truecolors (sic)’.
She then went on to play with Ben Folds at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas in May (16), performing a cover of Bob Dylan’s It Ain’t Me, Babe.
Kesha is fighting to be released from her contract over allegations she was sexually assaulted by Dr. Luke, although he denies the claims.
“We’re going on a tour”, she says.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, and figure to go fast, with an exclusive pre-sale already underway on her social media.
Kesha is under contract with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records, a label under the Sony umbrella.
Kesha hasn’t been out of the music game completely during her entire ordeal.
