Kesha is set to return to Australia in 2026 for her first headline tour in more than ten years.
The pop icon will bring her acclaimed ‘The Tits Out Tour’ to four major cities, starting at Brisbane’s Riverstage on February 19, followed by shows in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
The announcement follows her sold-out ‘House of Kesha’ show in Sydney and a high-profile performance at the Australian Open’s AO Live event earlier this year, both of which signalled a strong local appetite for the singer’s long-overdue return to Australian stages.
While there is no Sydney date announced for 2026, the pop icon will be in town during the Mardi Gras Festival period (February 13 until March 1) — Variety AU/NZ has reached out to DAL for comment.
The North American leg of ‘The Tits Out Tour’ is currently selling out arenas and amphitheatres across the continent, with fans — aka her “Animals” — flocking to celebrate the arrival of her new album, . “(Period.),” released via Kesha Records on July 4th.
Artist pre-sale tickets for the Australian dates go live Tuesday, August 5 at 10am local time, followed by a promoter pre-sale on Wednesday, August 6th, and Spotify pre-sale on Thursday, August 7. General on-sale begins Friday, August 8 at 10am (local). All tour and ticket info is available via keshaofficial.com/tour, destroyalllines.com, and xiiitouring.com.
Kesha’s sixth studio album, “(Period.),” dropped on July 4 to critical acclaim and streaming success. The self-produced, self-written 11-track record marks a bold, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom for the two-time GRAMMY nominee.
More than just a pop album, . is “a frisky pop record that delights in throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks,” according to Rolling Stone. It features fan favourites like “RED FLAG.” and “THE ONE.” — the latter debuting at No. 1 on Apple Music across all genres in the US, and “BOY CRAZY.” which racked up nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube in its first week.
Kesha has long been a force in the pop world, with more than 3 billion streams, 10 Top 10 singles, four #1 tracks on Top 40 radio and two chart-topping albums. She’s also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and animal welfare.
Her previous album, 2023’s “Gag Order,” earned global praise and was named Album of the Year by The Arts Desk, while also appearing on year-end lists from Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Independent, Slant and The Sunday Times.
Now, after years of evolution and reclamation, Kesha is back on her own terms and ready to bring her glitter-soaked, punk-spirited live show to Aussie fans. “So saturate yourself in glitter and get your tits out, Australia!”
