Kesha – who kicked off the year teaching “The Alchemy of Pop“ as Artist in Residence at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, followed by a major Ted Talk at Vancouver, BC’s TED2024 conference – further delighted fans with show-stopping festival performances at West Hollywood, CA’s OUTLOUD Music Festival At WeHo Pride, Philadelphia, PA’ Wawa Welcome America Festival in Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL’s Lollapalooza and Mexico City, MX’s Festival HERA HSBC, as well as such surprises as a live performance to over 5,000 ecstatic fans at Brooklyn, NY’s sold-out Planet Pride 2024 and a special guest appearance alongside Reneé Rapp at Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival that saw the two stars performing Kesha’s 8x RIAA Platinum-certified, worldwide #1 classic hit, “Tik Tok,”.

Most recently, Kesha released her critically acclaimed new album, . (PERIOD), via her own label Kesha Records and wrapped up the biggest live run of her extraordinary career, on the North American Tits Out Tour.  The run included Kesha’s first-ever Sold Out headline shows at such world-famous venues as Los Angeles’s Kia Forum and New York City’s Madison Square Garden.  Next up, Kesha will embark on the European and Australia legs of her Tits Out Tour in early 2026.
