Kesha Sets Sights On Australia With 2026 Headline Tour

After years away from the spotlight down under, global pop icon Kesha has officially confirmed her return to Australia with a headline tour scheduled for February 2026.

No Sydney Date – But Could Mardi Gras Be a Surprise?

The two parties settled in 2023, and the release of Kesha's contract finally happened in March 2024. She has said that, unlike other records, she considers this album her true reclaiming of her voice and her artistry, as well as her spirit. She has, nevertheless, openly acknowledged the emotional weight carried by other works and the trauma behind it all.

Empowered, Independent, and Ready to Shine

In a recent interview, she said that this new chapter feels like a "homecoming": the return of creative ownership and joy. However, her fans have nevertheless stood by her, drawn by the raw honesty she now projects in her shows and the new energy she has found. Hence, Kesha is not just giving an album tour in Australia: this is the dawn of a new era, the old one of strength, freedom, and reconnection, after all. It has been a very long journey for her, and this return promises to be one she will never forget.
